California Proposition - RIDGID R48607 Manual Del Operador

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
 NEVER hand hold a workpiece that is too small to be
clamped. Keep hands clear of the cutting area.
 NEVER reach behind, under, or within three inches of the
blade and its cutting path with your hands and fingers for
any reason.
 NEVER reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of scrap,
or anything else that is in or near the cutting path of the
blade.
 NEVER move the workpiece or make adjustment to
any cutting angle while the saw is running and the
blade is rotating. Any slip can result in contact with the
blade causing serious personal injury.
 AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand
to move into the blade. ALWAYS make sure you have
good balance. NEVER operate your miter saw on the
floor or in a crouched position.
 NEVER stand or have any part of your body in line with
the path of the saw blade.
 ALWAYS release the power switch and allow the
saw blade to stop rotating before raising it out of the
workpiece.
 DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND OFF
RAPIDLY. This could cause the saw blade to loosen and
could create a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear
and allow the saw blade to come to a complete stop.
Disconnect your saw from the power supply and securely
retighten the blade bolt.
 IF ANY PART OF THIS MITER SAW IS MISSING or
should break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any
electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off
the power switch, remove the miter saw plug from the
power source and have damaged, missing, or failed parts
replaced before resuming operation.
