SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

1.

 

Maintain a safe working environment. 

 Keep the work area well lit.  Make sure 

there is adequate surrounding workspace.  Always keep the work area free of 
obstructions, grease, oil, trash, and other debris.  Do not use the Miter Saw  in 
areas near flammable chemicals, dusts, and vapors.  Do not use this product in a 
damp or wet location.

2. 

Maintain labels and nameplates on the Miter Saw.

  These carry important  

 

information.  If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replace-
ment.

3. 

Do not force the equipment.  

This Miter Saw will do the work better and safer    

at the speed and capacity for which it was designed.

4. 

Keep all guards in place and in working order.

5. 

Remove all adjusting wrenches from the Miter Saw before turning it on.

6. 

Do not abuse the Power Cord.  

Do not use the Power Cord to pull its Plug from   

an electrical outlet.  Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and   
moving parts.  Route the Power Cord safely.  Protect the Power Cord from being   
damaged by other equipment in the work area.  Do not route the Power Cord  

 

where it can be walked on or tripped over.  Replace a damaged Power Cord  

 

immediately.

7. 

Do not use this Miter Saw for cutting metals or brittle materials.  

Do not cut    

dangerous materials, such as asbestos which can cause harmful dust or vapors.

8.

 

To avoid accidental injury, always wear heavy duty work gloves when 
changing a Saw Blade.

9. 

Before using the Miter Saw, make sure the Saw Blade is properly mounted    
on the Saw Spindle.  

Make sure the Saw Blade is balanced, and is not cracked   

or bent.

10. 

The Saw Blade will become hot while cutting.  

Allow the Saw Blade to com-

pletely cool before touching.

11. 

Make sure the workpiece is free from nails and any other foreign objects 
which can damage the Saw Blade. 

12. 

Keep your body positioned to either side of the Saw Blade, but not in line    
with the Saw Blade.  “Kickback” can cause the Saw to jump backwards.

25. 

When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts.  Follow in-
structions in the 

“Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” 

section of this 

manual. 

 Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions   

may create a risk of electric shock or injury.
