DESIGNATED DANGER ZONES
Avoid positioning hands, fingers or
arms
•
Connect this saw to a 120V, 15-amp branch
circuit with a 15-amp fuse or circuit breaker.
Using the wrong size fuse can damage the motor.
•
Fuses may "blow" or circuit breakers may trip
frequently if motor is overloaded. Overloading
can occur if you feed the blade into the
workpiece too rapidly or start and stop too often
in a short time.
•
Most motor troubles may be traced to loose or
incorrect connections, overload or low voltage
(such as small size wire in the supply circuit or
overly long supply circuit wire). Always check the
connections, the load and the supply circuit
whenever motor does not work well.
▶ Electric Brake
Your saw is equipped with an automatic electric brake
which is designed to stop the blade from spinning in
about five (5) seconds after you release the trigger
switch. It is useful when making certain cuts in wood
where a coasting blade would result in a wide,
imprecise cut.
Additional Safety Rules
Before each use, review all warnings
located on the miter saw.
DESIGNATED PINCH POINT AREA
A danger zone – avoid placing
hands, fingers or arms in these
areas. never attempt to move or lift
the saw in these areas.

causes, the motor will gradually slow down and the
braking action is initiated ONLY by the release of
the trigger switch.
The electric blade brake of your miter saw has been
designed for highest degree of reliability, but
unexpected circumstances such as contamination on
the commutator and brushes or failure of motor's
components can cause the brake not to activate. If
this condition occurs, turn the saw "ON" and "OFF"
four to five times without contacting the workpiece.
If the tool operates but the brake does not
consistently stop the blade in about five seconds, DO
NOT use saw and have it serviced immediately.

complete stop before raising the blade from the
workpiece.
As always, the guard system is your
best protection against unintentional contact with a
spinning saw blade. NEVER wedge open or defeat
the closing action of the lower guard.
