ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
THIS EQUIPMENT. Failure to follow all instructions listed below, may result in electric shock,
fire, and/or serious personal injury or property damage.
1. DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is
completely assembled and installed according to
the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can
cause serious injury.
2. OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor,
or another qualified person if you are not thoroughly
familiar with the operation of this machine.
Knowledge is safety.
3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended
electrical connections to prevent shock or electrocution.
4. SECURE THE MACHINE TO A SUPPORTING
SURFACE. Vibration can possibly cause the machine to
slide, walk, or tip over, causing serious injury.
5. USE ONLY CROSSCUT SAW BLADES. 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.
6. USE ONLY BLADES OF THE CORRECT SIZE
AND TYPE specified for this tool to prevent damage to
the machine and/or serious injury.
7. USE A SHARP BLADE. Check the blade to see if it runs
true and is free from vibration. A dull blade or a vibrating
blade can cause damage to the machine and/or serious
injury.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. USE ONLY BLADE FLANGES specified for this tool to
prevent damage to the machine and/or serious injury.
11. CLEAR THE AREA OF FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS and/or
gas prior to operation. Sparks can occur that would
ignite the liquids and cause a fire or an explosion.
12. 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.
13. TIGHTEN THE TABLE CLAMP HANDLE and any other
clamps prior to operation. Loose clamps can cause
parts or the workpiece to be thrown at high speeds.
14. NEVER START THE TOOL with the blade against
the workpiece. The workpiece can be thrown,
causing serious injury.
15. KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the
blade to prevent severe cuts. Clamp all workpieces that
would cause your hand to be in the "Table Hazard Zone"
(within the red lines).
16. ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME TO FULL SPEED
prior to starting cut. Starting the cut too soon can cause
damage to the machine or blade and/or serious injury.
17. WHEN USING A SLIDING MITER SAW AS A
REGULAR MITER SAW, LOCK THE SLIDE
MECHANISM IN PLACE. If the slide mechanism is not
locked, the saw can kick back toward you.
18. NEVER REACH AROUND or behind the saw blade. A
moving blade can cause serious injury.
19. NEVER CUT FERROUS METALS or masonry. Either of
these can cause the carbide tips to fly off the blade at
high speeds causing serious injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
20. NEVER CUT SMALL PIECES. Cutting small pieces
(where your hand would be within 6" of the saw blade)
can cause your hand to move into the blade, resulting in
serious injury.
21. NEVER LOCK THE SWITCH in the "ON" position.
Setting up the next cut could cause your hand to move
into the blade, resulting in severe injury.
22. NEVER APPLY LUBRICANT to a running blade.
Applying lubricant could cause your hand to move into
the blade, resulting in serious injury.
23. DO NOT PERFORM FREE-HAND OPERATIONS
(wood that is not held firmly against the fence and
table). 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. Use clamps to hold the work when possible.
24. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORK-
PIECES. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause
serious injury.
25. AFTER COMPLETING CUT, release power switch and
wait for coasting blade to come to a complete stop
before returning saw to raised position. A moving blade
can cause serious injury.
26. TURN OFF THE MACHINE and allow the blade to
come to a complete stop prior to cleaning the blade
area or removing debris in the path of the blade. A
moving blade can cause serious injury.
27. TURN OFF MACHINE and allow the blade to come to a
complete stop before removing or securing workpiece,
changing workpiece angle, or changing the angle of the
blade. A moving blade can cause serious injury.
28. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORK-
PIECES. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause
injury.
29. NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR SET-UP
WORK on the table/work area when the machine is
running. A sudden slip could cause a hand to move into
the blade. Severe injury can result.
30. TURN THE MACHINE "OFF", disconnect the machine
from the power source, and clean the table/work area
before leaving the machine. LOCK THE SWITCH IN
THE "OFF" POSITION to prevent unauthorized use.
Someone else might accidentally start the machine and
cause injury to themselves.
31. BEFORE OPERATING THE SAW, check and securely
lock the bevel, miter, and sliding fence adjustments.
32. THE CUTTING HEAD MUST RETURN QUICKLY TO
THE FULL UP POSITION. Failure to do so will not allow
the lower guard to operate properly and may result in
personal injury. See manual section on "Adjusting the
Cuttinghead Return".
