To avoid burns or other fire damage,
never use the miter saw near
flammable liquids, vapors, or gases.
●
Plan ahead to protect your eyes,
hands, face and ears.
●
Know your miter saw. Read and
understand this Instruction 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.
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. 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.
DRESS FOR SAFETY
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.
●
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 that are too
small to clamp and get a solid grasp on.
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.
