Additional Safety Rules For Miter Saws
WARNING: Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your saw) to replace
safety rules. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
severe injury.
• DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is completely assembled and installed
according to the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious
injury.
• OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person ff you
are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.
• STABILITY. Make sure the miter saw is placed on a secure supporting surface and
does not slip or move during use. If the mobility kit is installed, raise the moveable
caster(s) so saw is in its stationary position.
• FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections to prevent
shock or electrocution. Protect electric supply line with at least a 15 ampere time-delay
fuse or a circuit breaker."
• MAKE CERTAIN the blade rotates in the correct direction. The teeth on the blade
should point in the direction of rotation as marked on the saw.
• TIGHTEN ALL CLAMP HANDLES, knobs and levers prior to operation. Loose clamps
can cause parts or the workpiece to be thrown at high speeds.
• BE SURE aft blade and clamp washers are clean, recessed sides of collars are against
blade and arbor screw is tightened securely. Loose or improper blade clamping may
result in damage to the saw and possible personal injury.
• ALWAYS USE A SHARP BLADE. Check the blade to see if it runs true and is free
from vibration. A dull or a vibrating blade can cause damage to the machine and/or
serious injury."
• DO NOT OPERATE ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE DESIGNATED VOLTAGE
for the saw. Overheating, damage to the tool and personal injury may occur.
• DO NOT WEDGE ANYTHING AGAINST THE FAN to hold the motor shaft. Damage
to tool and possible personal injury may occur.
• DO NOT force cutting action. Stalling or partial stalling of motor can cause damage. To
the machine or blade and/or serious injury.
• ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME TO FULL SPEED prior to starting cut. Starting the
cut too soon may cause damage to the machine or blade and/or serious injury."
• NEVER CUT FERROUS METALS (Those with any iron or steel content) or masonry.
Either of these can cause the carbide tips to fly off the blade at high speeds causing
serious injury.
• DO NOT USE ABRASIVE WHEELS. The excessive heat and abrasive particles
generated by them may damage the saw and cause personal injury.
• NEVER have any part of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. Personal
injury will occur.
• NEVER apply blade lubricant to a running blade. Applying lubricant could cause your
hand to move into the blade resulting in serious injury.
• DO NOT place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected to the power
source. Inadvertent blade activation may result in serious injury.
• DO NOT PERFORM FREE-HAND OPERATIONS (workpiece not supported by table
and fence). Hold the work firmly against the fence and table. Free-hand operations on
a miter saw could cause the workpiece to be thrown at high speeds, causing serious
injury.
• NEVER REACH AROUND or behind the saw blade. A blade can cause serious
injury.
• DO NOT reach underneath the saw unless it is unplugged and turned off. Contact with
saw blade may cause personal injury.
• SECURE THE MACHINE TO A STABLE SUPPORTING SURFACE. Vibration can
possibly cause the machine to slide, walk, or tip over, causing serious injury.
• USE ONLY CROSSCUT SAW BLADES recommended for miter saws. For best
results, use only zero-degree or negative hook angles when using carbide-tipped
blades. Do not use blades with deep gullets. These can deflect and contact the guard,
and can cause damage to the machine and/or serious injury.
• USE ONLY BLADES OF THE CORRECT SIZE AND TYPE specified for this tool to
prevent damage to the machine and/or serious injury.
• INSPECT BLADE FOR CRACKS or other damage prior to operation. A cracked or
damaged blade can come apart and pieces can be thrown at high speeds, causing
serious injury. Replace cracked or damaged blades immediately.
• CLEAN THE BLADE AND BLADE FLANGES prior to operation. Cleaning the blade
and flanges allows you to check for any damage to the blade or flanges. A cracked or
damaged blade or flange can come apart and pieces can be thrown at high speeds,
causing serious injury.
• DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the vicinity of the
plastic guard. The polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to attack by
certain chemicals.
• AL WAYS USE THE KERF PLA TE AND REPLACE THIS PLATE WHEN DAMAGED.
Small chip accumulation under the saw may interfere with the saw blade or may cause
instability of workpiece when cutting.
• USE ONLY BLADE FLANGES specified for this tool to prevent damage to the machine
and/or serious injury.
• CLEAN THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS of chips and sawdust. Clogged motor air slots can
cause the machine to overheat, damaging the machine and possibly causing a short
which could cause serious injury.
• KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the blade to prevent severe cuts.
Clamp all workpieces that would cause your hand to be within 6" of the saw blade.
• NEVER LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE "ON" position. Severe personal injury may
result.
