• Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may create a risk of injury when used on
another tool.
• Keep guards in place and in working order.
• Never leave tool running unattended.
• Replacement parts.
When servicing, use only identical replacement.
• Service and repairs should be made by qualified repair technicians at an authorized
repair center. Improperly repaired tools could cause serious shock or injury.
CAUTION!
• DAMAGED OR WARPED SAW BLADES should not be used. They are out of balance
and could cause further damage to the saw and possible personal injury.
• USE ONLY WITH GUARD IN PLACE. The guard protects you the operator from cutting
debris as well as from broken pieces of the blade should it break in use.
• REPLACE THE TABLE INSERT 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
misalignment, the blade does not cut into the table insert, rear fence, or another part of
your saw.
• ALWAYS USE THE BLADE WRENCH to tighten the saw blade onto the arbor.
• 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 SAW BLADE SUITED TO THE CUTTING JOB AND MATERIAL TO BE CUT.
• CUT ONLY WITH THE MATERIAL PLACED FIRMLY AGAINST THE FENCE AND TABLE.
The rotation of the saw blade should force the material down against the table and rearward
against the fence during the cut.
• ALWAYS KEEP HANDS AT LEAST 6 INCHES FROM SAW BLADE, and keep hands out
of path of saw.
• DO NOT USE BLADES RATED LESS THAN 4800 RPM.
• DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO STAND BEHIND THE SAW
• DO NOT APPLY LUBRICANTS TO THE BLADE WHILE IT IS RUNNING.
OPERATION
CAUTION! Be sure the saw is disconnected from power!
Before putting the machine into operation
• The machine has to be set up where it can stand firmly, e.g., bolt it to a workbench, a
universal base or something similar.
• All the covers and safety devices have to be properly fitted before the machine is connected
to the power and switched on.
• The saw blade should be able to run freely.
• When working with wood that has been used before, watch out for nails, screws, etc.
