USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH LARGE OR
ODD SHAPED WORKPIECES
Use extra supports such as sawhorses
or roller stands etc, adjusted so they are
at the same height as the saw table, to
prevent large workpieces from tipping or
twisting when being cut.
Never employ another person to hold
or support a barge or odd shaped
workpiece, or to help feed the material
into the saw.
When cutting odd shaped workpieces,
plan the sequence of procedures to
ensure the chance of blade binding or
kickback is minimized.
Properly support round or tubular
material so that it can be securely
clamped to the saw table. Use a Hold
Down clamp which is designed to hold
such material.
WARNING
I
The dust collection bag should be
removed from the machine when cutting
metallic materials. Replace the dust
collection bag when cutting wood or
plastic materials.
WARNING
1
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 procedures
until any problem has been found and
corrected.

BODY AND HAND POSITION (Fig. T)
Never place your hands near
or within the 'no hands zone'.
Pictograms are incorporated into
the machine base (see below) to remind the
operator to employ good working practises.
Stand to one side of the blade.
Do not force the saw. Allow the speed of the
blade to do the work.
