RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL. Read the operator's manual carefully. Learn the saw's applications and limita- tions as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.

GUARD AGAINST ELECTRICAL SHOCK by prevent- ing body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigerator enclosures.

KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in good working order.

REMOVE WRENCHES AND ADJUSTING KEYS. Get in the habit - before turning on tool - that hex keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool.

KEEP THE WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered work areas and work benches invite accidents. DO NOT leave tools or pieces of wood on the saw while it is in operation.

DO NOT USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use power tools near gasoline or other flammable liquids, in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep the work area well lit.

KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All visitors should wear safety glasses and be kept a safe distance from work area. Do not let visitors contact tool or exten- sion cord while operating.

MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF with padlocks and master switches or by removing starter keys.

DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL it will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Do not force the tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed for. Use it only the way it was intended.

USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Use only a cord heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 14 is recommended for an extension cord 25 feet or less in length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

INSPECT TOOL CORDS AND EXTENSION CORDS PERIODICALLY and, if damaged, have repaired at your nearest authorized service center. Stay constantly aware of cord location and keep it well away from the moving blade.

DRESS PROPERLY. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry that can get caught and draw you into moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Also wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resis- tant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.

WEAR A DUST MASK to keep from inhaling fine par- ticles.

PROTECT YOUR HEARING. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It's safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and bal- ance at all times.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instruc- tions for lubricating and changing accessories.

DISCONNECT ALL TOOLS. When not in use, before servicing, or when changing attachments, all tools should be disconnected.

AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Be sure switch is off when plugging in any tool.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the operator's manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may case risk of injury.

NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the blade is unintentionally contacted.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before using the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged must be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service center to avoid risk of personal injury.

NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED, TURN THE POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT your miter saw to a work- bench or table at approximately hip height.

USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Use the right blade size, style and cutting speed for material and type of cut. Do not use blades with incorrect size holes. Never use blade washers or blade bolts that are defective or incor- rect. The maximum blade capacity of your saw is 10 in.

KEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP, AND WITH SUFFI- CIENT SET. Sharp blades minimize stalling and kick- back.

DO NOT REMOVE THE SAW'S BLADE GUARDS. Never operate the saw with any guard or cover removed. Make sure all guards are operating properly before each use.

KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA. Do not reach underneath work or in blade cutting path with your hands and fingers for any reason. Always turn the power off.

WARNING: Blade coasts after being turned off.
