STARTING AND STOPPING THE MITER SAW
To start the miter saw, firmly grasp the saw’s top handle and depress the switch trigger. To stop the miter saw, completely release the switch trigger.
This miter saw is equipped with an automatic electric blade brake. When the switch trigger is released, the electric brake is activated and stops the saw blade in seconds.
Warning: After completing a cut, release the switch trigger to activate the electric blade brake. Keep the cutting head down until the blade comes to a complete stop before raising the cutting head to the upward or starting position. A rotating saw blade can be dangerous.
Warning: The torque resulting from electric blade brake activation may loosen the arbor bolt. Occasionally check the arbor bolt and tighten if necessary.
TABLE HAZARD AREA | FIG 14 |
On the stationary table, on each side of the rotating miter table, is a “hands” warning symbol that is cast into the table. (See FIG 14) The area between the two “hand” symbols is designated as a “Hazard Zone” and the miter saw operator should never place their hands inside this area while the miter saw is running.
Warning: Keep your hands outside the “Hazard Zone” and out of the path of the saw blade. Use the supplied work clamp or other clamping means to secure the work piece in place before making a cut with the miter saw.
