RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)

•ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES to minimize risk of blade pinching and kickback. Saw may slip, walk, or slide while cutting long or heavy boards.

BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.

GUARD AGAINST KICKBACK. Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly and workpiece is driven back towards the operator. It can pull your hand into the blade resulting in serious personal injury. Stay out of blade path and turn switch off immediately if blade binds or stalls.

AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting.

ALWAYS USE A CLAMP to secure the work- piece when possible.

NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts during use.

NEVER START A TOOL WHEN THE BLADE IS IN CONTACT WITH WORKPIECE. Allow motor to come up to full speed before starting cut.

MAKE SURE THE MITER TABLE AND SAW

ARM (BEVEL FUNCTION) ARE LOCKED IN POSITION BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SAW, Lock the miter table by securely tightening the miter lock handle. Lock the saw arm (bevel function) by securely tightening the bevel lock knob.

NEVER USE A LENGTH STOP ON THE FREE SCRAP END OF A CLAMPED WORKPIECE. NEVER hold onto or bind the free scrap end of the workpiece in any operation. If a work clamp and length stop are used together, they must both be installed on the same side of the saw table to prevent the saw from catching the loose end and kicking up.

NEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO NOT STACK more than one workpiece on the saw table at a time.

NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION "FREE- HAND". Always place the workpiece to be cut on the miter table and position it firmly against the fence as a backstop. Always use the fence.

NEVER hand hold a workpiece that is too small to be clamped. Keep hands clear of the no hands zone.

NEVER reach behind, under, or within three inches of the blade and its cutting path with your hands and fingers for any reason.

NEVER reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of scrap, or anything else that is in or near the cutting path of the blade.

•AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the blade. ALWAYS make sure you have good balance. NEVER operate your miter saw on the floor or in a crouched position.

NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade.

ALWAYS release the power switch and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising it out of the workpiece.

DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND OFF RAPIDLY. This could cause the saw blade to loosen and could create a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear and allow the saw blade to come to a complete stop. Disconnect your saw from the power supply and securely retighten the blade bolt.

REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether electrical or mechanical, should be made by qualified service technician at a Sears store.

A WARNING: When servicing use only identical Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

NEVER USE IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMO-

SPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.

NEVER leave the miter saw unattended while connected to a power source.

POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this tool has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

IF ANY PART OF THIS MITER SAW IS MISS- ING 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.

DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL WHILE UN- DER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OR ANY MEDICATION.

ALWAYS STAY ALERT! Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your saw) to cause a careless mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
