OPERATION
7. CHECK BEFORE OPERATION
• Check that the miter table does not rotate and the saw arm does not bevel.
• Check that the workpiece is fully supported, against the fence and securely clamped down.
• Check that you have selected the right blade speed for you material to be cut.
• Without turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation to check that nothing is obstructing the
path of the saw.
WARNING:
Before operating the miter saw, make sure to equip yourself with dust mask, ear protec-
tion, safety glasses and work gloves for protection from possible injuries. Tie back long hair and do not
wear loose clothing or jewelry.
8. PERFORMING THE CUT
1. Hold the operating handle firmly and press the blade guard lever with your index finger. Squeeze the switch trig-
ger to turn on the saw.
2. Allow the blade to reach full speed.
• Without sliding:
Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.
• With sliding:
Pull the saw arm all the way to the front. Slowly lower the blade into the workpiece while steadily
pushing it away from you until the workpiece is cut.
CAUTION:
Never slide the saw arm towards you when cutting.
Always push away.
3. Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before slowly raising the blade out of the work-
piece. Wait until the blade fully stops before removing the workpiece. After cutting all the workpieces, unplug your
miter saw before leaving.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR CUTTING METAL
NOTE:
This miter saw is designed for woodworking and can only handle occasional metal cutting. Excessive metal
cutting can dull the saw blade quickly and cause damage to the miter saw.
•
Recommended:
- Aluminum, bronze alloy, copper alloy, and mild steel without heat treatment.
•
Not recommended:
- Steel with heat treatment or surface hardening treatment, as it will damage saw blade very fast.
- Pure copper, as the material is sticky. Use HSS saw blade with fine teeth and cut copper at high speed.
•
Forbidden:
- Magnesium and magnesium alloys.
WARNING: Do not cut magnesium or magnesium alloys. Serious
accident and even death could occur.
1. Only use saw blades specific for metal cutting or for handling multipurpose operations.
2. Initial contact of the saw blade with the metal workpiece must be slow and gentle. Apply constant force to feed the
blade into the workpiece. Avoid movement or vibration of the workpiece during cutting may damage the saw blade.
3. Do not use dust bag or dust collection when cutting metals. Risk of fire and explosion can occur due to hot metal
dust or flying sparks!
WARNING:
Be sure to tighten the miter lock and bevel lock before making a cut. Failure to do so
could result in the table moving during the cut and may cause serious personal injuries.
