Safety Instructions for Miter Saw
Keep Children Away.
• Keep all visitors a safe distance from the miter saw.
• Make sure bystanders are clear of the miter saw and workpiece.
Don’t Force Tool.
• It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate. Feed the saw into the workpiece only fast
enough to let the blade cut without bogging down or binding.
Before freeing jammed material:
• Turn switch “OFF”.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Unplug the miter saw.
After finishing a cut:
• Release the switch, and wait for all moving parts to stop before moving your hands.
Before Leaving The Saw
• Never Leave Tool Running Unattended.
• Turn switch off.
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
• Unplug the miter saw.
• Make workshop child-proof. Lock the shop. Disconnect master switches. Store tool
away from children and others not qualified to use the tool.

Motor Safety Protection
1. If the motor won’t start, release the trigger switch immediately and unplug the tool. Check
the saw blade to make sure it turns freely. If the blade is free, try to start the motor again. If
the motor still does not start, refer to the “Motor Trouble-Shooting Chart.”
2. If the motor suddenly stalls while cutting, release the trigger switch, unplug the tool, and
free the blade. The motor may now be restarted and the cut finished.
3. Fuses may “blow” or circuit breakers may trip frequently for the following reasons:
a. Motor Is Overloaded-Overloading can occur if you feed too rapidly or make too
many start/stops in a short time.
b. Improper or dull saw blade is used.
