• To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off
and disconnect it from power source before installing
and removing accessories, before adjusting or when
making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury.
To avoid mistakes that could cause serious,
permanent injury, do not plug the tool in until the
following steps are completed:
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 iron-based 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. Do not use this saw to cut tree limbs or logs.
Remove all nails that may be in the workpiece to
prevent sparking that could cause a fire. Remove dust
bag when cutting non-ferrous metals.
• To ensure the blade path is clear of obstructions, always
make a dry run of the cut without power before making
any cuts on the workpiece.
• Completely assemble and adjust the saw, following the
instructions. (ASSEMBLY & ADJUSTMENTS)
• Learn the use and function of the ON/OFF trigger switch,
on/off switch for laser, upper and lower blade guards,
hold-down latch, bevel lock handle, and cover plate screw.
• Review and understand all safety instructions and
operating procedures in this Operator’s Manual.
(SAFETY & OPERATION)
• Review the MAINTENANCE and TROUBLESHOOTING
GUIDE for your miter saw.
• To avoid injury or possible death from electrical shock:
Make sure your fingers do not touch the plug’s metal
prongs when plugging or unplugging your miter saw.
(ELECTRICAL EQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY)
• Disconnect the miter saw. To avoid injury from
accidental starting, unplug the saw before any
adjustments, including set-up and blade changes.
• Compare the direction of rotation arrow on the guard to
the direction arrow on the blade. The blade teeth should
always point downward at the front of the saw.
• Tighten the arbor bolt.
• Tighten the cover plate screw.
• Check for damaged parts.
Check for:
• Alignment of moving parts
• Damaged electric cords
• Binding of moving parts
• Broken/cracked castings: base, table, motor, upper arm
• Function of arm return spring and lower guard: Push
the cutting arm all the way down, then let it rise until it
stops. The lower guard should fully close. Follow
instructions in TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE for
adjustment if necessary.
• Other conditions that may affect the way the miter
saw works.
• Keep all guards in place, in working order and proper
adjustment. If any part of this miter saw is missing, bent,
damaged or broken in any way, or any electrical parts
don’t work, turn the saw off and unplug it.
• Replace bent, damaged, missing or defective parts
before using the saw again. All repairs should be done by
a certified and licensed technician.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep the miter saw clean for
best and safest performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating. Do not put lubricants on the blade while
it is spinning.
• Remove adjusting wrench from the tool before turning
it on.
• To avoid injury from jams, slips, or thrown pieces, use only
recommended accessories.
• Check the dust bag before you work. Empty the bag if it
is more than half-full.
• Consult the ACCESSORIES and ATTACHMENTS section
of this Operator’s Manual for recommended accessories.
Follow the instructions that come with the accessory. The
use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to
persons.
• Choose the correct 12 in. diameter blade for the material
and the type of cutting you plan to do.
• 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.
• 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.
