TOOL USE AND CARE

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
tool for the application. The correct tool will
do the job better and more safely at the rate
that it was designed to work at.
Do not use tools if switch does not turn it on
or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories or storing the tool. This preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of accidental
starting of the tool.
When the power tool is not in use, store it out
of the reach of children, and do not allow in-
dividuals who are not familiar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate it. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands on untrained
users.
Maintain the power tool. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, broken parts,
and any other condition that may affect the
operation of the power tool. If it is damaged,
have it repaired before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Check for misalignment or bonding of moving
parts, breakage parts, and any other condition
that may affect the tools operation. If you find
a damaged tool, take it to service before use it.
Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer of your model. Suitable ac-
cessories for one tool, may become hazardous
when are used on another tool.
Keep cutting tools, sharpened and clean. Cut-
ting tools in good condition with sharpened
edges, are less likely to stuck in workpieces or
easier to control.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR

MITER SAWS
• FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT the tool to a work-
bench or table at approximately hip height.
• KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA.
Do not reach underneath work or in blade cut-
ting path with hands and fingers for any rea-
son. Always turn the power off.
• ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES while
cutting to minimize risk of blade pinching and
kickback. Saw may slip, walk or slide while cut-
ting long or heavy boards.
• ALWAYS USE A CLAMP to secure the work-
piece when possible.
• BE SURE THE BLADE CLEARS THE WORKPIECE.
Never start the saw with the blade touching
the workpiece. Allow motor to come up to full
speed before starting cut.
• MAKE SURE THE MITER TABLE AND SAW
ARM (BEVEL FUNCTION) ARE LOCKED IN POSI-
TION BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SAW. Lock the
miter table by securely tightening the miter
lock levers. Lock the saw arm (bevel function)
by securely tightening the bevel lock knob.
• NEVER USE A LENGTH STOP ON THE FREE
SCRAP END OF A CLAMPED WORKPIECE. NEV-
ER hold onto or bind the free scrap end of the
workpiece in any operation. If a work clamp
and length stop are used together, they must
both be installed on the same side of the saw
table to prevent the saw from catching the
loose end and kicking up.
• NEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO
NOT STACK more than one workpiece on the
saw table at a time.
• NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION FREE-
HAND. Always place the workpiece to be cut
on the miter table and position it firmly against
the fence as a backstop. Always use the fence.
