SPECIFIC RULES FOR MITER SAWS
13. Before making compound miter cuts, ensure that the work head is securely fixed in the desired position.
14. Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area.
15. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect workpieces and remove all nails and other foreign objects before beginning to saw.
16. Support the work properly.
17. Never reach over the blade to remove waste or cut-offs.
18. Do not attempt to free a jammed blade while the machine is still running.
19. Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let the blade come to rest naturally.
20. If you’re interrupted during operation, complete the task at hand and turn the saw off before looking up.
21. Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fastenersare properly tightened.
22. Always hold the saw by the insulated parts. If you accidentally cut into hidden wiring or the saw’s own cable, the
metal parts of the saw will become electrified. Turn off and unplug immediately.
23.Connect the saw to a dust collection device that is operating properly.
24. Wear gloves when handling saw blades.
25. Keep the floor area around the machine level, well maintained and free of loose materials such as wood chips
and cut-offs.
26. During slide cutting, always push the saw blade away as opposed to pulling it back towards you.
27. Always use stands to provide support for pieces that extend past the worktable.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protect-
ing insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
WARNING: The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the
tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and
should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the product to your
nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
WARNING: This tool is for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or use in damp locations.
