OPERATION

●Do not use this saw to cut small pieces. If the workpiece being cut would cause your hand or ﬁngers to be within 8-3/4 inches of the saw blade the workpiece is too small. Keep hands and ﬁngers out of the “no hands zone” area marked on the saws table.

●When cutting odd shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not bind in the blade and cause possible injury. Molding, for example, must lie ﬂat or be held by a ﬁxture or jig that will not let it move when cut.

●Properly support round material such as dowel rods, or tubing, which have a tendency to roll when cut, causing the blade to “bite”.

!WARNING

To avoid injury, follow all applicable safety instructions, when cutting non-ferrous metals:

●Use only saw blades speciﬁcally recommended for non-ferrous metal cutting.

●Do not cut metal workpieces that must be hand held. Clamp workpieces securely.

●Cut non-ferrous metals only if you are under the supervision of an experienced person and the dust bag has been removed from the saw.

WHEN SAW IS RUNNING

!WARNING

Do not allow familiarity from frequent use of your miter saw to result in a careless mistake. A careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a severe injury. Before cutting, if the saw makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates, stop immediately. Turn the saw OFF. Unplug the saw. Do not restart until ﬁnding and correcting the problem.
