SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITER SAWS
PROPOSITION 65 WARNING:
l.
Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or
longer than the table top
.
Workpieces longer or wider than the miter saw table can tilt if not securely supported. If the cut-off
piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
m. Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support
for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and
the helper into the spinning blade.
n.
The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw blade.
If
confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged between the blade and thrown violently.
o.
Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such as rods or tubing.
Rods
have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
p. Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the workpiece
being thrown.
q.
If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the miter saw off. Wait for all moving parts to stop
and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack. Then work to free the
jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to the miter
saw.
r.
After finishing the cut, release switch, hold the saw down and wait for the blade to stop before removing
the cut-off piece.
Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
s.
Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the saw
head is completely in the position. The braking action of the saw may cause the saw to be suddenly pulled
downward, causing a risk of injury.
t. Saw Head lock pin is for storage and transport only. This saw should never be locked in the down position while
making cuts.
u. Do not operate saw without guards in place.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
If tool is loaned to someone, also loan them these instructions.
Dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals
known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• Asbestos dust
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specifically designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water.
