To avoid injury, follow
all
statements
identified below by the BULLET (•) symbol.
•
Unplug electric cord and wind up.
Use the
hook and loop strap to hold the wrapped
cord together.
•
Never lift the saw by gripping any of the
mechanism parts.
The saw may move and
cause severe injuries to your fingers or
hands.
•
To avoid back injury, hold the tool close to
your body when lifting.
Bend your knees so
you can lift with your legs, not your back.
Lifting the saw from the back is the
preferred method. This will tip the tool
toward your body.
•
Never lift tool by holding switch handle.
This may cause serious damage.
•
Never lift the miter saw by the power cord
or the operational handle. Attempting to
lift or carry the tool by the power cord will
damage the insulation and the wire
connections, resulting in electric shock or
fire.
•
Place the saw on a firm, level surface
where there is plenty of room for handling
and properly supporting the workpiece.
•
ONLY lift this saw by the cast-in carry
handles at each side of the bottom of the
base
(see Figure 27).
