is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along
the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist
or shift and may cause binding on the spinning saw
blade while cutting. There should be no nails or foreign
objects in the workpiece.
h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear
of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for
the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of
wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade
can be thrown with high speed.
i) Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked
multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped
or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during
cutting.
j) Ensure the mitre saw is mounted or
placed on a level, firm work surface
before use. A level and firm work surface reduces
the risk of the mitre saw becoming unstable.
k) Plan your work. Every time you change
the bevel or mitre 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.
l) 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 mitre
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.
m) 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.
n) 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.
o) 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.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before
contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the
risk of the workpiece being thrown.

q) If the workpiece or blade becomes
jammed, turn the mitre 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 loss of control or damage to the
mitre saw.
r) 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.
s) 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.
