SAFETY GUIDELINES
• ALWAYS check the blade for cracks or damage before operation. Replace a cracked
or damaged blade immediately.
• NEVER use blades recommended for operation at less than 3200 RPM.
• ALWAYS keep the blade guards in place and use at all times.
• NEVER reach around the saw blade.
• MAKE SURE the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is
turned ON.
•
IMPORTANT:
After completing the cut, release the trigger and wait for the blade to
stop before returning the saw to the raised position.
• MAKE SURE the blade has come to a complete stop before removing or securing the
workpiece, changing the workpiece angle or changing the angle of the blade.
• NEVER cut metals or masonry products with this tool. This mitre saw is designed for
use on wood and wood-like products.
• NEVER cut small pieces. If the workpiece being cut would cause your hand or fingers
to be within 7 1/2" (19 cm) of the saw blade, the workpiece is too small.
• PROVIDE adequate support to the sides of the saw table for long work pieces.
• NEVER use the mitre saw in an area with flammable liquids or gases.
• NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or
otherwise damage the material.
• SHUT OFF the power before servicing or adjusting the tool.
• DISCONNECT the saw from the power source and clean the machine when
finished using.
• MAKE SURE the work area is clean before leaving the machine.
• SHOULD any part of your mitre saw be missing, damaged, or fail in any way, or any
electrical component fail to perform properly, lock the switch and remove the plug
from the power supply outlet. Replace missing, damaged, or failed parts before
resuming operation.
• Because of the downward cutting motion, your safety requires that you stay very
alert to keeping hands and fingers away from the path that the blade travels.
