WARNING
Cut only one workpiece at a time. Multiple workpieces
•
cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind
on the blade or shift during cutting.
• Be certain the miter saw is mounted or placed on a
level, firm work surface before using. A level and firm
work surface reduces the risk of the miter saw becoming
unstable.
• This tool is not equipped with provisions for
attaching an auxiliary fence. Do not cut materials that
exceed the cutting capacities stated in this manual.
Insure that the work piece is supported by the fence
before cutting.
• Plan your work. Provide adequate support
accessories such as tables, saw horses, table
extension, etc. for workpieces wider or longer than
the table top (see page 42). Workpieces longer or wider
than the miter saw table can tip if not securely supported.
If the cutoff piece or workpiece tips it can lift the lower
guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
Do not use another person as a substitute for a table
•
extension or as additional support. Unstable support
for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the
workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you
and the helper into the spinning blade.
The cutoff piece must not be jammed against or
•
pressured by any other means against the spinning
saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, it could
get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly
•
support round material such as dowel rods, or
tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut,
causing the blade to "bite" and pull the work with your
hand into the blade.
When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan
•
your work so it will not slip and pinch the blade and
be torn from your hand. A piece of molding, for
example, must lie flat or be held by a fixture or jig that will
not let it twist, rock or slip while being cut.
Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the
•
workpiece. This will help avoid thrown workpieces.
• Before sawing, always check that there is no
interference between moving and stationary parts of
the saw. Do not operate the saw in the following range
of miter and bevel combinations: Left miter angles greater
than 45° and bevel angles greater than 35°. These miter
and bevel combinations may result in interference
between the lower guard and the work piece clamp.
"READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS" — Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES identified by BULLET (•) symbol listed
BELOW and other safety precautions, may result in serious personal injury.
"SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS"
Safety
Do not use saw blade rated less than 5000/min(RPM).
•
• Do not use a blade larger or smaller than 10
diameter and 5/8
If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed or
•
bogged down, turn miter saw "OFF" by releasing
switch. Wait for all moving parts to stop and unplug
the miter saw, then work to free the jammed material.
Continued sawing with jammed workpiece could cause
loss of control or damage to compound miter saw.
Braking action of the saw causes the saw head to
•
jerk downward. Be ready for this reaction when
making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch
before the head is completely in the down position.
After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the
•
saw arm down and wait for blade to stop before
removing work or cutoff piece. If blade does not stop
within seven (7) seconds, unplug the saw and follow
the instructions in the Troubleshooting section.
REACHING WITH YOUR HAND UNDER A COASTING
BLADE IS DANGEROUS!
Some dust created by power sanding,
WARNING
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work
with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• There are additional safety instructions for particular
operations of the saw in the operating section. Read
the rest of the manual for safe operation.
