Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work.
To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals:
Know your power tool
. Read the
Operator’s Manual carefully. Learn the
applications and limitations, as well as
the specific potential hazards related to
this tool. Following this rule will reduce
the risk of electric shock, fire or serious
injury.
Before beginning power tool
operation, always wear safety
goggles or safety glasses with a side
shield and a full face shield when
needed
. We recommend a Wide Vision
Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or
standard safety glasses with side
shields. Always use eye protection
which is marked to comply with ANSI
Z87.1.
Protect your lungs
. Wear a face mask
or a dust mask if the operation is dusty.
Protect your hearing
. Wear
appropriate personal hearing protection
during use. Under some conditions and
duration of use, noise from this tool may
contribute to hearing loss.
All visitors and bystanders must
wear the same safety equipment that
the operator of the saw wears.
Inspect the tool cords periodically
and, if damaged, have them repaired by
an authorized service center.
Always check the tool for damaged
parts
. Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged
should be carefully checked to
determine whether it will operate
properly and perform its intended
function. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, broken parts,
and any other condition that may affect
the tool’s operation. A guard or other
part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by an authorized
service center.
Save this Operator’s Manual
. Refer to
it frequently and use it to instruct others
who may use this tool. If someone
borrows this tool, make sure they have
the Operator’s Manual also.
WARNING:
Do not permit fingers to
touch the terminal or the plug when
installing or removing the plug from an
outlet.
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
double-insulated tools are equipped with
a polarized plug (one prong is wider
than the other). This plug will fit into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit in the outlet properly,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install a
polarized outlet. Do not change the plug
in any way.
Double insulation eliminates the need
for the three-wire grounded power cord
and grounded power supply system.
Applicable only to Class II (double-
insulated) tools. This compound miter
saw is a double-insulated tool.
WARNING:
Double insulation does
not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool.
Before plugging in the tool, be sure that
the outlet voltage supplied is within the
voltage marked on the tool’s data plate.
Do not use “AC-only” rated tools with a
DC power supply.
Avoid body contact with grounded
surfaces such as, pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions, and do not use power tools
in wet or damp locations. Water entering
a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock. This tool is intended for
indoor use only.
If operating a power tool in damp
locations is unavoidable, always use a
ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) to
supply power to your tool. Always wear
electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear
in damp conditions.
Inspect tool cords for damage. Have
damaged tool cords repaired by an
authorized service center. Be sure to
stay constantly aware of the cord
location, and keep it well away from the
moving blade.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord to carry the tool or to remove the
plug from the outlet. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
parts. Replace damaged cords
immediately. Damaged cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
