•
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient enough to
inflict serious personal injury.
•
Always wear eye protection with side shields and marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 Failure to do so could result in objects being
thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious personal injury.
•
Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of attachments or
accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.
•
Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt the compound miter saw to a workbench. Never operate the miter saw on
the floor or in a crouched position. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
•
To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the miter lock handle and bevel lock knob securely before making a cut. Failure
to do so could result in movement of the control arm or miter table while making a cut.
•
To avoid serious personal injury, keep hands outside the no hands zone, at least 3 in. from blade. Never perform any cutting
operation freehand (without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.
•
When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure the workpiece, clamp workpiece on one side of the blade only. The workpiece
must remain free on one side of the blade to prevent the blade from binding in workpiece. The workpiece binding the blade will
cause motor stalling and kickback. This situation could cause an accident resulting in serious personal injury.
•
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.
You may use this tool for the following purposes:
•
Bevel cutting and compound cutting for crown moldings, etc.
•
Cross cutting wood and plastic.
•
Cross cutting for moldings, door casings, picture frames, etc.
CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL
When attempting to cut warped material, the CONVEX face
should be against the fence as shown in Figure 13.
Never position a piece of warped material with the CONCAVE
face or edge against the fence, as shown in Figure 14. It will
pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.
To avoid a kickback and to avoid serious
personal injury, never position the concave edge of bowed or
warped material against the fence.
