Before using the Miter Saw, make sure the Saw Blade is properly mounted
on the Saw Spindle. Make sure the Saw Blade is balanced, and is not cracked
or bent.
The Saw Blade will become hot while cutting. Allow the Saw Blade to
completely cool before touching.
Make sure the workpiece is free from nails and any other foreign objects
which can damage the Saw Blade.
Keep your body positioned to either side of the Saw Blade, but not in line
with the Saw Blade. “Kickback” can cause the Saw to jump backwards.
Causes and operator prevention of “kickback”: Kickback is a sudden
reaction to a pinched, bound, or misaligned Saw Blade, causing an uncontrolled
Saw to lift up and out of the workpiece toward the operator. When the Saw Blade
is pinched or bound tightly by the kerf closing down, the Saw Blade stalls and
the Motor reaction drives the tool rapidly toward the operator. If the Saw Blade
becomes twisted or misaligned in the cut, the teeth at the back edge of the Saw
Blade can dig into the top surface of the workpiece, causing the Saw Blade to
climb out of the kerf and jump toward the operator. Kickback is a result of tool
misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be
minimized by taking proper precautions as given below:
Maintain a rm grip with both hands on the Saw, and position your body
and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
When the Saw Blade is binding, or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, release the Power Switch and hold the Saw motionless in the
workpiece until the Saw Blade comes to a complete stop. Never attempt
to remove the Saw Blade from the workpiece or pull the Saw backward while
the Saw Blade is in motion or kickback can occur.
When restarting the Saw in the workpiece, center the Saw Blade in the
kerf and check that the saw teeth are not engaged into the workpiece. If
the Saw Blade is binding, it may walk up or kickback from the workpiece as
the Saw is restarted.
Support large panels to minimize the risk of Saw Blade pinching and
kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must
be placed under the panel on both sides, near the line of cut and near the
edge of the panel.
Do not use a dull or damaged Saw Blade. Unsharpened or improperly set
Saw Blades produce a narrow kerf causing excessive friction, Saw Blade
binding and kickback.
Make sure all Saw adjustments are tight and secure before making a cut.
If Saw adjustments shift while cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
