•
NEVER move the workpiece or make adjustment
to any cutting angle while the saw is running or 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 a good balance. NEVER operate the miter
saw on the floor or in a crouched position.
•
ALWAYS release the power switch and allow the
saw blade to stop rotating before raising it out of the
workpiece or changing settings.
•
IF ANY OF THE 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.
NOTE: The manual cover illustrates the current production model. All other illustrations contained in the manual are
representative only and may not be exact depictions of the actual labeling or accessories included. They are intended for
illustrative purposes only.
A separate electrical circuit should be used for your machines. This circuit should not be less than #12 wire and should
be protected with a 15 Amp time lag fuse. If an extension cord is used, use only 3-wire extension cords which have
a 3-prong grounding type plugs. Before connecting the machine to the power line make sure the switch(s) is in the
"OFF" position and be sure that the electric current is of the same characteristics as indicated on the machine. All line
connections should make good contact. Running on low voltage will damage the machine.
DO NOT EXPOSE THE MACHINE TO RAIN OR OPERATE THE MACHINE IN DAMP LOCATIONS.
Your machine is wired for 120 volts, 60 HZ alternating current. Before connecting the machine to the power source,
make sure the switch is in the "OFF" position.
DOUBLE INSULATION
This machine is double insulated. Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the
need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor
components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
The double insulated system is designed to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in
the tool's internal insulation. However, it is important to observe normal safety precautions to
avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to the nearest authorized service
center for repair. Always use identical replacement parts when servicing.
MITER SAW SAFETY RULES
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
If tool is loaned to someone, also loan them these instructions.
POWER CONNECTIONS
•
ALWAYS STAY ALERT! Do not allow familiarity
(gained from frequent use of the saw) to cause
a careless mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that a
careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict a
serious injury.
•
IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, it
must be replaced by an authorized service center or
electrician.
•
NEVER leave the saw unattended while connected to
a power source.
•
ALWAYS carry the tool only by the base.
•
AVOID direct eye exposure when using the laser
guide.
