SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE MITER SAW
SECURE YOUR WORKPIECE
1. Always position the workpiece on the miter table and firmly against the fence. Never perform any operation
freehand.
2. Use a clamp or other securing methods to support the workpiece whenever possible.
3. When cutting round workpieces, use clamps on both sides of the table to prevent the workpiece from turning.
Position the convex (curved) side against the fence.
4. Always support long workpieces properly using stands or roller tables.
5. Never hand hold a workpiece that is too small to be clamped, as it can be launched away and cause injury. Use
proper support and guides to secure the small workpiece.
DURING CUTTING OPERATION
1. Make sure the path of the saw blade is clear of obstruction. Before turning on the miter saw, do a dry run and
make sure that the saw blade does not touch anything other than the workpiece during its entire line of travel.
2. Always stand to one side when operating the saw. Never have any part of the body in line with the path of the saw.
Never cross your arms when using a miter saw.
3. Do not use the miter saw unless all guards are in place.
4. Never perform any operation freehand. Always position the workpiece on the miter table and firmly against the
fence.
5. Turn on the miter saw and let it reach full speed, then slowly lower the saw into the workpiece. This will help
produce safer and cleaner cuts.
6. During slide cutting, always push the saw blade away from you. Do not pull the saw towards you.
7. Never cut more than one piece at a time. Do not stack workpieces together.
8. Release the switch and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of the workpiece.
9. Do not slow or stop a blade with a piece of wood. Let the blade come to rest naturally. Do not attempt to free a
jammed blade while the machine is still running.
IMPORTANT RULES FOR CUTTING METAL
NOTE: This miter saw is designed for woodworking and occasional metal cutting. For constant metal cutting opera-
tions please use a chop saw or a metal band saw. Excessive metal cutting can dull the saw blade very quickly and
damage the miter saw. Never operate this saw with a dull blade.
1. Only use saw blades specific for metal cutting or for handling multipurpose operations.
