DO NOT OVERREACH

Keep good footing and balance. Keep your face and body to one side, out of the line of a possible kickback. NEVER stand in the line of the blade. NEVER reach your arm or hand across the cutting path of the blade.

Never cut freehand:

●Brace your workpiece firmly against the fence and table stop so it will not rock or twist during the cut.

●Make sure there is no debris between the workpiece and the table or fence.

●Make sure there are no gaps between the workpiece, fence and table that will let the workpiece shift after it is cut.

●Keep the cut piece free to move sideways after it is cut off. Otherwise, it could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently.

●Only the workpiece should be on the saw’s table.

●Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to help hold the work when it is practical.

USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH LARGE OR ODD SHAPED WORKPIECES

●Use extra supports (tables, sawhorses, blocks, etc.) for workpieces large enough to tip.

●Never use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as an additional support for a workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic miter saw table, or to help feed, support or pull the workpiece.

●Do not use this saw to cut small pieces. If the workpiece being cut would cause your hand or fingers to be within 8-3/25 in. of the saw blade, the workpiece is too small. Keep hands and fingers out of the “no-hands zone” area marked on the saw’s table.

●When cutting odd shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not bind in the blade and cause 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 you find and correct the problem.
