“READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS” — Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES identified by BULLET (•) symbol listed

! WARNING

 

BELOW and other safety precautions, may result in serious personal injury.

 

•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.

•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 remove battery pack from tool, 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 five (5) seconds, remove battery pack from tool and follow the instructions in the Troubleshooting section. REACHING WITH YOUR HAND UNDER A COASTING BLADE IS DANGEROUS!

•Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent use of your miter saw to become commonplace. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

•THINK SAFETY! SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF OPERATOR’S COMMON SENSE, KNOWLEDGE OF THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND ALERTNESS AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE MITER SAW IS BEING USED.

!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.
