SAFETY GUIDELINES
• Be sure all guards are in place and working. If a guard seems slow to return to
its normal position or “hangs-up,” adjust or repair it immediately. Be alert at all
times—especially during repetitive, monotonous operations. Don’t be lulled into
carelessness due to a false sense of security. Blades are extremely unforgiving.
Clean the lower guard frequently to help visibility and movement. Unplug before
adjustment or cleaning.
• Abrasive cut-off wheels should not be used on mitre saws. Mitre saw guards are not
appropriate for abrasive cut-off wheels.
• To avoid loss of control or placing hands in the path of the blade, hold or clamp
all material securely against the fence when cutting. Do not perform operations
freehand.
• Support long material at the same height as the saw table.
• After completing a cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop, then raise the saw blade from the workpiece.
• Lock the mitre saw head in the down position during transport or when not in use.
• DRY RUN - It is important to know where the blade will intersect with the workpiece
during cutting operations. Always perform a simulated cutting sequence with the
power tool switched OFF to gain an understanding of the projected path of the saw
blade. At some extreme angles, the right or left side fence might have to be removed
to ensure proper clearance prior to making a cut.
POWER SUPPLY AND MOTOR SPECIFICATIONS
• The AC motor used in this saw is a universal, nonreversible type. See “MOTOR” in the
“TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS” section on page 7.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS – DOUBLE INSULATED
• The power tool is double insulated to provide a double thickness of insulation
between you and tool’s electrical system. All exposed metal parts are isolated from
the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
WARNING!
• To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the tool, use
proper circuit protection. Your saw is wired at the factory for 120 V
operation. Connect to a 120 V, 15 A circuit and use a 15 A time delay fuse
or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, if power cord is worn or cut, or
damaged in any way, have it replaced immediately.
