REPLACE THE KERF PLATE INSERTS WHEN WORN. 

Excessive 

tear-out increases the likelihood of injury from flying debris. When 

setting the saw at a new angle, check that due to some mis-alignment, 

the blade does not cut into the table insert, rear fence, or another part 

of your saw.

 

CONNECT YOUR MITER SAW TO A DUST COLLECTING DEVICE 

IF POSSIBLE. 

If not, use the dust bag that comes with the tool and 

empty it regularly.

 

 

USE A SAWBLADE SUITED TO THE CUTTING JOB AND 

MATERIAL TO BE CUT.

 

ALWAYS USE TABLE EXTENSIONS AND CLAMPS TO SUPPORT 

THE MATERIAL WHEN SAWING LONG WORK PIECES.

 

DON’T START THE SAW WITH THE BLADE IN CONTACT WITH 

ANY SURFACE. 

The saw head may bounce up or kick back violently 

and cause injury.

 

IF MAKING A CUT USING ONE HAND TO HOLD THE SAW,  

ensure 

the free hand is clear of the cutting area. 

LASER SAFETY

To reduce the risk of injury:

1. Do not stare directly at the laser beam. Eye damage may occur if you 

deliberately stare into the beam.

2. The laser light beam used in this system is Class II with maximum 1 mW 

and 650 nm wavelengths. AVOID DIRECT EYE EXPOSURE.

3. The laser must be used and maintained in accordance with the 

manufacturer’s instructions:

 

Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the 

workpiece.

 

Do not project the laser beam into the eyes of others.

 

Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a workpiece without 

reflective surfaces as the laser beam could be projected into your eyes 

or the eyes of others.

Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than

those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

WEAR PROTECTIVE GEAR.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other 

construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth 

defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:  

─Lead from lead-based paints

─Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products

─Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this 

type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well 

ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, 

 

such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out 

microscopic particles.
