Tool Use and Care
• Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the wotkpiece to a stable plat-
form. Holding the work by hand or against your
body is unstable. Itallows for work to shift, causes
binding of the tool and loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do
not use the tool for purpose not intended - for ex-
ample; do not use the miter saw for slicing meats.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it "ON"
or "OFF". Any tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments or changing
accessories. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges, are
less likely to bind and easier to control. When
mounting saw blades be certain that the arrow on
thblade matches the direction of the arrow marked
on the tool and that the teeth are also pointing in
the same direction.
• Inspect guards before using a tool. Keep
guards in place. Check moving parts for bind-
ing or any other condition that may affect the
normal operation or safety features of the tool.
If damaged, have tool serviced before using
the tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
• Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or
modification is a misuse and may result in serious
personal injury.
• The use of any other accessories not speci-
fied in this manual may create a hazard. Ac-
cessories that may be suitable for one type of tool,
may become hazardous when used on an inap-
propriate tool.
Service
• Tool service must be performed only by qual-
ified repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel may result in
misplacing internal wires and components which
could cause serious hazard.
When servicing a tool, use only identical re-
placement parts. Follow instructions in the
Maintenance section of this manual. Use of
unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance
Instructions may create a hazard.
Safety Rules For Miter Saws
• Use clamps to support wotkpiece whenever
possible, if supporting the workpiece by hand,
you must always keep hand outside of "No
Hand" area as marked with a symbol on the
base. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that
are too small to be securely clamped. Your
hand if placed inside the "No Hands"
region can easily slip or be pulled into the blade.
• Do not reach in back of the saw blade behind
the fence with either hand to hold
down or support the workpiece, remove wood
scraps, or for any other reason. The proximity
of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not
be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
• Never cross your hand over intended line of
cutting. Supporting the workpiece "cross handed"
i.e. holding the left side of the workpiece with your
right hand is very dangerous.
• Always disconnect the power cord from the
power source before making any adjustments
or attaching any accessories. You may unin-
tentionally start the saw, leading to serious per-
sonal injury.
• Miter saws are intended to cut wood or wood-
like products, they cannot be used with abra-
sive cutoff wheels for cutting ferrous material
such as bars, rods, studs, etc. However, if cut-
ting materials like aluminum or other non-fer-
rous metals, use only saw blades specifically
recommended for non ferrous metal cutting.
Cutting ferrous materials causes excessive spark-
ing and will damage the lower guard and will over-
load the motor.
(NOTE: Robert Bosch Tool Corporation does not
offer 12" metal cutting blades.)
Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If
wotkpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with
the outside bowed face toward the fence. Al-
ways make certain that there is no gap be-
tween the workpiece, fence and table along
the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces
can twist or rock and may cause binding on the
spinning saw blade while cutting. Also, make sure
there are no nails or foreign objects in the work-
piece.
