DO NOT OVERREACH
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
reach your arm or hand across the
cutting path 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.
● Make sure there are no gaps
between the workpiece, fence and
table that will let the workpiece shift
after it is cut.
●
Keep the cut piece free to move
sideways after it is cut off.
Otherwise, it could get wedged
against the blade and thrown
violently.
●
Only the workpiece should be on
the saw’s table.
●
Secure work. Use clamps or a vise
to help hold the work when it is
practical.
USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH LARGE
OR ODD SHAPED WORKPIECES
●
Use extra supports (tables,
sawhorses, blocks, etc.) for
workpieces large enough to tip.
●
Never use another person as a
substitute for a table extension or as
an additional support for a workpiece
that is longer or wider than the basic
miter saw table, or to help feed,
support or pull the workpiece.
●
Do not use this saw to cut small
pieces. If the workpiece being cut
would cause your hand or fingers
to be within 8-3/25 in. of the saw
blade, the workpiece is too small.
Keep hands and fingers out of the
“no-hands zone” area marked on
the saw’s table.
WARNING
!
●
When cutting odd shaped workpieces,
plan your work so it will not bind in the
blade and cause injury. Molding, for
example, must lie flat or be held by
a fixture or jig that will not let it move
when cut.
●
Properly support round material
such as dowel rods or tubing, which
have a tendency to roll when cut,
causing the blade to “bite.”
To avoid injury, follow all applicable
safety instructions when cutting
non-ferrous metals:
● Use only saw blades specifically
recommended for non-ferrous metal
cutting.
● Do not cut metal workpieces
that must be hand held. Clamp
workpieces securely.
● Cut non-ferrous metals only if you
are under the supervision of an
experienced person and the dust
bag has been removed from the
saw.
WHEN SAW IS RUNNING
Do not allow familiarity from
frequent use of your miter saw
to result in a careless mistake. A
careless fraction of a second is
enough to cause a severe injury.
Before cutting, if the saw makes an
unfamiliar noise or vibrates, stop
immediately. Turn the saw OFF.
Unplug the saw. Do not restart until
you fi
nd and correct the problem.
