ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
 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.
 Use the right direction of feed. Feed work into a blade,
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.
 Use only correct blades. Do not use blades with incorrect
size holes. Never use blade washers or blade bolts that
are defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity
of your saw is 12 in.
 Before making a cut, be sure all adjustments are
secure.
 Never touch blade or other moving parts during use.
 Double check all setups. Make sure blade is tight and not
making contact with saw or workpiece before connecting
to power supply.
 Firmly clamp or bolt your tool to a workbench or table
at approximately hip height.
 Make sure the miter table and saw arm (bevel function)
are locked in position before operating your saw. Lock
the miter table by pushing the miter lock lever down. Lock
the saw arm (bevel function) by securely tightening 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.
 Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the blade.
ALWAYS make sure you have good balance. NEVER
operate your miter saw on the floor or in a crouched
position.
 Never stand or have any part of the body in line with the
path of the saw blade.
 Do not turn the motor switch on and off rapidly. This
could cause the saw blade to loosen and could create
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
component fail to perform properly, shut off the power
switch, remove the miter saw plug from the power source
and have damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced
before resuming operation.
 Always turn off the saw before disconnecting it to avoid
accidental starting when reconnecting to power supply.
NEVER leave the saw unattended while connected to a
power source.
 This tool should have the following markings:
• To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and
understand the operator's manual before using the

Contact with the blade will result in serious injury.
• Do not operate saw without guards in place.
