paired by a qualified service technician at an authorized
service facility. Repair or replace a damaged or worn cord
immediately. Stay constantly aware of cord location and
keep it well away from the rotating blade.
Inspect extension cords periodically
and replace if
damaged.
Polarized plugs.
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any
way.
Know your power tool.
Read the operator’s manual
carefully. Learn the applications and limitations as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Always wear eye protection with side shields which
is marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when using this
product.
Failure to do so could result in objects being
thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
Never stand on tool.
Serious injury could occur if the tool
is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
Keep guards in place
and in good working order.

cutter, or sanding spindle against the direction of rotation
of the blade, cutter, or sanding spindle only.
Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power
off.
Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

size holes. Never use blade washers or blade bolts that
are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity
of your saw is 10 in.
Before making a cut, be sure all adjustments are
secure.
Never touch blade
or other moving parts during use.
Double check all setups.

not making contact with saw or workpiece before con-
necting to power supply.

tion) are locked in position before operating your saw.
Lock the miter table by pushing the miter lock lever down.

the bevel lock knob.
Never move the workpiece or make adjustment to any
cutting angle while the saw is running and the blade
is rotating.
Any slip can result in contact with the blade
causing serious personal injury.

a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear and allow
the saw blade to come to a complete stop. Disconnect
your saw from the power supply and securely retighten
the blade bolt.
If any part of this miter saw is missing
or should break,
bend, or fail in any way, or should any electrical compo-
nent fail to perform properly, shut off the power switch,
