11. Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel
or miter 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 "ON" and with no workpiece
on the table, move the saw blade through a complete
simulated cut to assure there will be no interference
or danger of cutting the fence.
12. Provide adequate support such as table
extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that
is wider or longer than the table top.
Workpieces longer or wider than the miter 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 saw blade.
If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece
could get wedged against the blade and thrown
violently.
15. Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to
properly support round material such as rods or
tubing.
Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing
the blade to "bite" and pull the work with your hand
into the blade.
16. Let the blade reach full speed before contacting
the workpiece.
This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being
thrown.
17. If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn
the miter saw off. Wait for all moving parts to
stop and disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack. Then
work to free the jammed material.
Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could
cause lass of control or damage to the miter saw.
18. After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold
the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop
before removing the cut-off piece.
Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is
dangerous.
19. Hold the handle firmly when making an
incomplete cut or when releasing the switch
before the saw head is completely in the down
position.
The braking action of the saw may cause the saw
head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk
of injury.
