Safety Instructions for Double Miter Saws
1.SAFETY GUARDS. The safety guards are designed to protect you from the spinning blades and flying debris during operation. Always keep the safety guards in their cor- rect position when the machine is in opera- tion.
2.KICKBACK. Be familiar with kickback. Kickback happens when the workpiece is thrown towards the operator at a high rate of speed. Until you have a clear understand- ing of kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT operate this saw!
3.WORKPIECE CONTROL. To avoid kick- back, make sure the workpiece is stable on the table and is supported by the fence, extension wings, and pneumatic hold- downs. DO NOT perform any cutting opera- tions
4.REACHING NEAR SAFETY GUARDS. The spinning saw blades can cause serious personal injury very quickly. Never reach near or under safety guards when the machine is connected to power. Disconnect the machine from power before placing your hands within 4" of the safety guards.
5.DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use blades that have been dropped or otherwise damaged.
6.USE CORRECT AIR PRESSURE. Exceeding the maximum 90 PSI air pres- sure rating of this machine may cause unpredictable operation, personal injury, or damage to the machine.
7.DISCONNECT AIR PRESSURE. To avoid the risk of unintentional operation, discon- nect air pressure when the machine is not in use. Always disconnect air pressure from the machine when performing maintenance, setup, or service.
8.BE AWARE OF AIR HOSE LOCATION. Hoses can easily become a tripping hazard when laid across the floor in a disorganized manner.
9.STALLED BLADE. Disconnect the saw from power before attempting to "free" a stalled saw blade or jammed workpiece.
10.WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Provide adequate support for workpieces that extend beyond the extension wings.
11.STABLE POSITION. Avoid operations and hand positions where a slip could cause your hand to move into the blade.
12.MACHINE CONDITION. If any part of the machine is damaged or not working prop- erly, STOP using the machine immediately. To avoid the risk of serious personal injury, make sure that proper repairs are completed before
13.EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Service Department at (570)
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are fre- quently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention.
