RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION (Continued)

BEFORE MAKING A CUT, be sure all adjust- ments are secure.

BE SURE BLADE PATH IS FREE OF 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 for any reason.

BE SURE THE BLADE CLEARS THE WORK- PIECE. Never start the saw with the blade touching the workpiece. Allow motor to come up to full speed before starting out.

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.

nNEVER reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of scrap, or anything else that is in or near the cutting path of the blade.

nAVOID 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.

lALWAYS 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.

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

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 THIS TOOL IN AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE. Normal sparking of the motor could ignite fumes.

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.

•STAY ALERT AND EXERCISE CONTROL. Watch what you are doing and use common

sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired. Do not rush.

•MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHTING to see the work and that no obstruc-

tions will interfere with safe operation BEFORE performing any work using your saw.
