electrician replace the TWO-prong outlet with
a properly grounded THREE-prong outlet. Do
not use any adapter plugs.
Improper connection of the equipment-
grounding conductor can result in a risk of
electric shock. The conductor with insulation
having an outer surface that is green with
or without yellow stripes is the equipment
grounding conductor. If repair or replacement
of the electric cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the equipment grounding
conductor to a live terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service
personnel if the grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in doubt as
to whether the tool is properly grounded.
Extension Cords
Replace damaged cords immediately.
Use of damaged cords can shock, burn or
electrocute.
Always use proper extension cords. Use
only 3-wire extension cords which have
3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole
receptacles which accept the tool's plug.
If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with
adequate size conductors should be used to
prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power
or overheating. The table shows the correct
size to use, depending on cord length and
nameplate amperage rating of tool. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. Always use UL
and CSA listed extension cords.

Safety instructions for Miter Saws
Miter saws are intended to cut wood or
wood-like products, they cannot be used
with abrasive cut-off wheels for cutting
ferrous materials such as bars, rods,
studs, etc. Abrasive dust causes moving
parts such as lower guard to jam. Sparks
from abrasive cutting will burn the lower
guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
U s e c l a m p s t o s u p p o r t w o r k p i e c e
whenever possible. If supporting the
workpiece by hand, you must always keep
hand at least 100 mm from either side of
the saw blade. Do not use this saw to cut
pieces that are too small to be securely
clamped or held by hand. If your hand is
placed too close to the saw blade, there is an
increased risk of injury from blade contact.
The workpiece must be stationary and
clamped or held against both the fence
and the table. Do not feed the workpiece
into the blade or cut "freehand" in any
way. Unrestrained or moving workpieces
could be thrown at high speeds, causing
injury.
Push the saw through the workpiece. Do
not pull the saw through the workpiece.
To make a cut, raise the saw head and
pull it out over the workpiece without
cutting, start the motor, press the head
down and push the saw through the
workpiece. Cutting on the pull stroke is likely
to cause the saw blade to climb on top of
the workpiece and violently throw the blade
assembly towards the operator.
2
Never cross your hand over the intended
60 120
line of cutting either in front or behind the
2.5
saw blade. Supporting the workpiece "cross
4.0
handed" i.e. holding the workpiece to the
4.0
right of the saw blade with your left hand or
–
vise versa is very dangerous.
– –
Do not reach behind the fence with either
hand closer than 100 mm from either side
of the saw blade, to remove wood scraps,
or for any other reason while the blade is
spinning. The proximity of the spinning saw
blade to your hand may not be obvious and
you may be seriously injured.
Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If
workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it
