WARNING
I
Do not allow familiarity from frequent use
of your miter saw to result in a careless
mistake. A careless fraction of a second is
enough to cause a severe injury.
Before cutting, if the saw makes an
unfamiliar noise or vibrates, stop
immediately. Turn the saw OFF. Unplug the
saw. Do not restart operations until any
problem has been found and corrected.

approximately 6 seconds after the ON/OFF
trigger switch is released, wait for the blade
to stop, unplug the saw and contact Sears
Service Center at 1-800-469-4663.
