BODY AND HAND POSITION (FIG. U)

!WARNING

Never place hands near the cutting area. Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the miter saw will make cutting easier and

safer. Keep children away. Keep all visitors at a safe distance from the miter saw. Make sure bystanders are clear of the saw and workpiece. Don’t force the saw. It will do the job better and safer at its designed rate.

Starting a cut:

●Place hands at least 6-3/4 in. away from the path of the blade – out of the “no-hands zone”

(1). (Fig. U)

●Hold workpiece firmly against the fence to prevent movement toward the blade.

●With the power switch OFF, bring the saw blade down to the workpiece to see the cutting path of the blade.

●Press in lock-off switch in trigger switch handle.

●Squeeze trigger switch to start saw.

●Lower blade into workpiece with a firm downward motion.

Finishing a cut:

●Hold the cutting arm in the down position.

●Release trigger switch and wait for all moving parts to stop before moving your hands and raising the cutting arm.

●If the blade doesn’t stop within 6 seconds, unplug the saw and follow the instructions in TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE section.

Before freeing jammed material:

●Release trigger switch.

●Wait for all moving parts to stop.

●Unplug the miter saw.

TURNING SAW ON (FIG. V)

To reduce the likelihood of accidental starting, a thumb activated lock-OFF switch is located on top of the switch handle. The lock-OFF switch (1) must be pushed in before the trigger switch (2) can be activated and the miter saw started.

!WARNING

Make the switch child-proof. Insert a padlock through the hole (3) in the trigger switch and lock it. This will prevent children and other unauthorized users from engaging the trigger switch ON.
