properly and perform its intended function—check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. Do
not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF.
Don’t leave tool until it comes to a
complete stop.
• DO NOT OPERATE ELECTRIC TOOLS NEAR
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR IN GASEOUS OR
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES.
Motors in these tools
may spark and ignite fumes.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS.
Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. The following table shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier
the cord.
Additional Safety Rules For Mitre Saws
CAUTION:
FAILURE TO HEED THESE
WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY AND SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE SAW.
• DO-Protect electric supply line with at least a 15 ampere
time-delay fuse or a circuit breaker.
• Replace table insert when worn
• Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer
• Connect mitre saw to a dust connecting device when
sawing
• Take care when slotting
• DO-Make certain the blade rotates in the correct
direction and that the teeth at the bottom of the blade are
pointing to the rear of the mitre saw.
• DO-Be sure all clamp handles are tight before starting
any operation.
• DO-Be sure all blade and clamp washers are clean and
recessed sides of collars are against blade. Tighten
arbor screw securely.
• DO-Keep saw blade sharp.
• DO-Keep motor air slots free of chips and dirt.
• DO-Use blade guards at all times.
• DO-Keep hands out of path of saw blade.
• DO-Shut off power, disconnect cord from power source
and wait for saw blade to stop before servicing or
adjusting tool.
• DO-Support long work with an outboard tool rest.
• DO-Use only 10 inch diameter blades.
• Do not use saw blades which are damaged or deformed
• DON’T-Attempt to operate on anything but designated
voltage.
• DON’T-Operate unless all clamp handles are tight.
• DON’T-Use blades larger or smaller than those which
are recommended.
• DON’T-Wedge anything against fan to hold motor shaft.
• DON’T-Force cutting action. (Stalling or partial stalling of
motor can cause major damage. Allow motor to reach full
speed before cutting.)
• DON’T-Cut ferrous metals (Those with any iron or steel
content) or any masonry.
• DON’T-Use abrasive wheels. The excessive heat and
abrasive particles generated by them will damage saw.
• DON’T-Allow anyone to stand behind saw.
• DON’T-Apply lubricants to the blade when it’s running.
