FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.

1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is

completely assembled and installed according to the

instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can

cause serious injury.

2. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor,

or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly

familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge

is safety.

3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended

electrical connections to prevent shock or

electrocution.

4. SECURE THE MACHINE TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE.

Vibration can possibly cause the machine to slide,

walk, or tip over, causing serious injury.

5. USE ONLY CROSSCUT SAW BLADES. Use only

zero-degree or negative hook angles when using

carbide-tipped blades. Do not use blades with deep

gullets. These can deflect and contact the guard, and

can cause damage to the machine and/or serious

injury.

6. USE ONLY BLADES OF THE CORRECT SIZE AND

TYPE specified for this tool to prevent damage to the

machine and/or serious injury.

7. USE A SHARP BLADE. Check the blade to see if it

runs true and is free from vibration. A dull blade or

a vibrating blade can cause damage to the machine

and/or serious injury.

8. INSPECT BLADE FOR CRACKS or other damage

prior to operation. A cracked or damaged blade can

come apart and pieces can be thrown at high speeds,

causing serious injury. Replace cracked or damaged

blades immediately.

9. CLEAN THE BLADE AND BLADE FLANGES prior to

operation. Cleaning the blade and flanges allows you

to check for any damage to the blade or flanges. A

cracked or damaged blade or flange can come apart

and pieces can be thrown at high speeds, causing

serious injury.

10. USE ONLY BLADE FLANGES specified for this tool

to prevent damage to the machine and/or serious

injury.

11. CLEAR THE AREA OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS and/

or gas prior to operation. Sparks can occur that would

ignite the liquids and cause a fire or an explosion.

12. CLEAN THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS of chips and

sawdust. Clogged motor air slots can cause the

machine to overheat, damaging the machine and

possibly causing a short which could cause serious

injury.

13. TIGHTEN THE TABLE CLAMP HANDLE and any

other clamps prior to operation. Loose clamps can

cause parts or the workpiece to be thrown at high

speeds.

14. NEVER START THE TOOL with the blade against the

workpiece. The workpiece can be thrown, causing

serious injury.

15. KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the

blade to prevent severe cuts. Clamp all workpieces

that would cause your hand to be in the “Table

Hazard Zone” (within the red lines).

16. WHEN CUTTING WITH A COMPOUND SLIDING

MITER SAW, PUSH THE SAW FORWARD (AWAY

FROM YOU) and toward the fence. Pulling the saw

toward you can cause the saw to kick upward and

toward you.

17. WHEN USING A SLIDING MITER SAW AS A REGULAR

MITER SAW, LOCK THE SLIDE MECHANISM IN PLACE.

If the slide mechanism is not locked, the saw can kick

back toward you.

18. ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME TO FULL SPEED

prior to starting cut. Starting the cut too soon can

cause damage to the machine or blade and/or

serious injury.

19. NEVER REACH AROUND or behind the saw blade.

A moving blade can cause serious injury.

20. NEVER CUT FERROUS METALS or masonry. Either

of these can cause the carbide tips to fly off the blade

at high speeds causing serious injury.

21. NEVER CUT SMALL PIECES. Cutting small pieces

can cause your hand to move into the blade, resulting

in serious injury.

22. NEVER LOCK THE SWITCH in the “ON” position.

Setting up the next cut could cause your hand to

move into the blade, resulting in severe injury.

23. NEVER APPLY LUBRICANT to a running blade.

Applying lubricant could cause your hand to move

into the blade, resulting in serious injury.

24. DO NOT PERFORM FREE-HAND OPERATIONS.

Hold the work firmly against the fence and table.

Free-hand operations on a miter saw could cause

the workpiece to be thrown at high speeds, causing

serious injury. Use clamps to hold the work when

possible.

25. AFTER COMPLETING CUT, release power switch

and wait for coasting blade to come to a complete

stop before returning saw to raised position. A

moving blade can cause serious injury.

26. TURN OFF THE MACHINE and allow the blade to

come to a complete stop prior to cleaning the blade

area or removing debris in the path of the blade. A

moving blade can cause serious injury.

27. TURN OFF MACHINE and allow the blade to come

to a complete stop before removing or securing

workpiece, changing workpiece angle, or changing

the angle of the blade. A moving blade can cause

serious injury.

28. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORK-

PIECES. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause

injury.

29. NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR SET-UP

WORK on the table/work area when the machine is

running. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move

into the blade. Severe injury can result.

30. TURN THE MACHINE “OFF”, disconnect the machine

from the power source, and clean the table/work area

before leaving the machine. LOCK THE SWITCH IN

THE “OFF” POSITION to prevent unauthorized use.

Someone else might accidentally start the machine

and cause injury to themselves.

32. BEFORE OPERATING THE SAW, check and securely

lock the bevel, miter, and sliding fence adjustments.
