18.NEVER recut small pieces.
19.PROVIDE ADEQUATE SUPPORT to the sides of the saw table for long workpieces.
20.NEVER use the miter saw in an area with flammable liquids or gases.
21.NEVER USE SOLVENTS TO CLEAN PLASTIC PARTS. Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Only a soft, damp cloth should be used to clean plastic parts.
22.DISCONNECT SAW from power source and clean the machine before leaving it.
23.MAKE SURE the work area is cleaned before leaving the machine.
24.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of this product is available from the National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL
25.SOME WOOD CONTAINS PRESERVATIVES WHICH CAN BE TOXIC. Take extra care to prevent inhalation and skin contact when working with these materials. Request, and follow, any safety information available from your material supplier.
26.DON T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Have damaged or worn power cord and strain reliever replaced immediately. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR POWER CORD.
27.WEAR EAR PROTECTION to safeguard against possible hearing loss.
28. AVOID CUTTING NAILS AND KNOTS. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting. Try to do layout cuts between knots.
29.NEVER USE LIQUID COOLANT.To do so could present electrical shock hazard.
30.KEEP CLEAR OF SAWDUST EJECTION CHUTE. Sawdust and chips are expelled out the ejection chute at rear of saw. Do not allow anyone in this area while saw is in operation.
31.W ARNING:Slide cutting by PULLING the saw towards the operator can be dangerous, causing the saw to kick upwards and towards the operator.Always PUSH the saw forward, away from the operator, and towards the fence when slide cutting.
32. WHEN USING THE SAW AS A MITER AND MAKING CHOP CUTS, MAKE SURE the saw sliding mechanism is locked in place to prevent the saw from kicking towards the operator.
33.WHEN THE MITER SAW IS NOT IN USE, the switch should be locked in the OFF position to prevent unauthorized use of the saw.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.

CAUTION: Do not operate your tool on a current on which the voltage is not within correct limits. Do not operate tools rated A.C. only on D.C. current. To do so may seriously damage the tool.
EXTENSION CORD SELECTION
If an extension cord is used, make sure the conductor size is large enough to prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible motor damage. A table of recommended extension cord sizes will be found in this section. This table is based on limiting line voltage drop to 5volts (10 volts for 230 volts) at 150% of rated amperes.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors it must be marked with the suffix
