OPERATION
• Make sure the blade is sharp, undamaged and properly
aligned. With the saw unplugged, push the cutting arm all
the way down. Manually spin the blade and check for
clearance. Tilt the power-head to a 45° bevel and repeat
the test.
• Make sure the blade and arbor collars are clean.
• Make sure all clamps and locks are tight and there is no
excessive play in any parts.
KEEP YOUR WORK AREA CLEAN
Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
• Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face and ears.
• Know
your miter saw. Read and understand this
Operator’s Manual and labels affixed to this tool. Learn
its application and limitations as well as the specific
potential hazards peculiar to this tool. To avoid injury
from accidental contact with moving parts, do not do
layout, assembly, or setup work on the miter saw while
any parts are moving.
• Avoid accidental starting, make sure the trigger switch is
disengaged before plugging the miter saw into a power
outlet.
PLAN YOUR WORK
• Use the right tool. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do
a job it was not designed to do. Use a different tool for
any workpiece that can’t be held in a solidly braced,
fixed position.
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry
(rings, watches). They can get caught and draw you into
moving parts.
• Wear non-slip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing
damage, wear ear plugs when using any miter saw.
• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with
safety goggles.
INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE
• Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part
of the workpiece being cut.
• Plan your work to avoid small pieces that may bind or are
too small to clamp and hold securely.
• Plan the way you will grasp the workpiece from start to
finish. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions. A
sudden slip could cause your fingers or hand to move into
the blade.
DO NOT OVER-REACH
Keep good footing and balance. Keep your face and body to
one side, out of the line of a possible kickback. NEVER stand
in the line of the blade.
Never cut freehand :
• Brace your workpiece firmly against the fence and table
stop so it will not rock or twist during the cut.
• Make sure there is no debris between the workpiece and
the table or fence.
• Make sure there are no gaps between the workpiece,
fence and table that will let the workpiece shift after it is
cut.
• Keep the cut off piece free to move sideways after it is
cut off. Otherwise, it could get wedged against the blade
and thrown violently.
• Only the workpiece should be on the saw table.
• Secure work. Use clamps or a vice to help hold the work
when it’s practical.
USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH LARGE OR ODD SHAPED
WORKPIECES .
• Use extra supports (tables, sawhorses, blocks, etc.) for
workpieces large enough to tip.
• Never use another person as a substitute for a table
extension, or as an additional support for a workpiece
that is longer or wider than the basic miter saw table,
or to help feed, support, or pull the workpiece.
• Do not use this saw to cut small pieces. If the workpiece
being cut would cause your hand or fingers to be within
7.5 inches of the saw blade the workpiece is too small.
Keep hands and fingers out of the “no hands zone” area
marked on the saw table.
• When cutting odd shaped workpieces, plan your work so
it will not bind in the blade and cause possible injury.
Molding, for example, must lie flat or be held by a fixture
or jig that will not let it move when cut.
• Properly support round material such as dowel rods, or
tubing, which have a tendency to roll when cut, causing
the blade to “bite”.
• Use only saw blades specifically recommended for
non-ferrous metal cutting.
• Do not cut metal workpieces that must be hand held.
Clamp workpieces securely.
• Cut non-ferrous metals only if you are under the
supervision of an experienced person and the dust bag
has been removed from the saw.
DRESS FOR SAFETY
WARNING
CAUTION
To avoid burns or other fire damage,
never use the miter saw near flammable liquids,
vapors, or gases .
This machine is not designed for cutting
masonry, masonry products, ferrous metals (steel,
iron, and ironbased metals.) Use this miter saw to
cut only wood, wood-like products, or non-ferrous
metals. Other material may shatter, bind the blade,
or create other dangers. Remove all nails that may
be in the workpiece to prevent sparking that could
cause a fire. Remove dust bag when cutting
nonferrous metals .
Any power tool can throw foreign objects into the
eyes. This can result in permanent eye damage.
Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant
lenses and are not safety glasses. Glasses or
goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously
injure you when they break.
WARNING
To avoid injury, follow all applicable
safety instructions, when cutting non-ferrous metals :
