Do not reach behind the fence with either hand

Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the
workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with
the outside bowed face toward the fence.
Always make certain that there is no gap
between the workpiece, fence and table along
the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces
can twist or shift and may cause binding on the

Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all
tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the work-
piece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or

Plan your work. Every time you change the
bevel or mitre angle setting, make sure the
adjustable fence is set correctly to support the
workpiece and will not interfere with the blade
or the guarding system. Without turning the tool

assure there will be no interference or danger of
cutting the fence.
12. Provide adequate support such as table exten-
sions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is
wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces
longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip
if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or
workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be
thrown by the spinning blade.
13. Do not use another person as a substitute for
a table extension or as additional support.
Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the
blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the
cutting operation pulling you and the helper into
the spinning blade.
14. The cut-off piece must not be jammed or
pressed by any means against the spinning

a speed equal or higher than the speed marked

Always use the blade which conforms to

occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
3.
Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn
the power off. Do not leave tool until it comes
to a complete stop.
4.
Do not operate saw without guards in place.
Check blade guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard
does not move freely and close instantly.
Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the
open position.
5.
Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still
cause severe injury.
6.
To reduce the risk of injury, return carriage
to the full rear position after each crosscut
operation.
7.
Always secure all moving portions before
carrying the tool.
8.
Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down
is for carrying and storage purposes only and
not for any cutting operations.
9.
Check the blade carefully for cracks or dam-
age before operation. Replace cracked or dam-
aged blade immediately. Gum and wood pitch
hardened on blades slows saw and increases
potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by

gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene.
Never use gasoline to clean blade.
