Keep bystanders, children, and visitors at a safe distance from the Miter Saw while it is in operation. Distractions can cause inadvertent misuse resulting in possible injury to the bystanders or to the operator.
Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other apparel that could possibly become caught in the moving parts of the Miter Saw. When working in a shop environment around power tools, wear nonslip footwear. Use protective hair covering to contain long hair.
Keep the work area clean at all times. Cluttered areas around the Miter Saw can cause unexpected accidents if the debris comes in contact with the moving parts of the Miter Saw.
Maintain a proper work environment. Do not operate the Miter Saw in damp or wet locations or expose it to rain. Water can cause the electrical components to malfunction resulting in damage to the Miter Saw and/or serious injury or death to the operator.

NEVER reach around the blade.
Turn tool off and wait for saw blade to stop before moving workpiece or changing settings.
Use 10" blades only. NEVER use blades above or below the rated blade diam- eter. NEVER use blades recommended for operation at less than 4800 RPM.
