Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the product will operate properly 
and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the 
product with a damaged part. 

 

Do not use a product with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with 
the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative 
before using. 

 

Disconnect the power/air supply from the product and place the switch in the locked or off position 
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety 
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. 

 

Store the miter saw when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children. 
Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use. 

 

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product. 
Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with 
another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure than 
the tool itself. 

 

Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the product without the guards in place. 

 

Do not leave the miter saw running unattended.
