WARNING!
Never place hands near the cutting area. Proper positioning
of your body and hands when operating the mitre saw will make cutting
easier and safer. Keep children away. Keep all visitors at a safe distance
from the mitre saw. Make sure bystanders are clear of the saw and
workpiece. Don’t force the saw. It will do the job better and safer at its
designed rate.

Finishing a cut:

the cutting arm.

6 seconds, unplug the saw and
follow the instructions in the
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
section.
