DRY RUN – It is important to know where
the blade will intersect with the workpiece
during cutting operations. Always perform a
simulated cutting sequence with the power
tool switched OFF to gain an understanding of
the projected path of the saw blade. Mentally
note where the path of saw blade will fall and
set up your work to keep your hands and
arms out of the path of the spinning blade.
Adjust your clamps and fences so that they
do not interfere with the smooth operation
of the lower guard and cutting action.
WARNING
certain cutting conditions; for example,
when trying to cut workpieces that are near
the maximum cutting height capacity. Under
these conditions or during the blade travel
motion of cut, the workpiece can stop the
lower guard movement before the downward
motion of the arm could pre-open the lower
guard.
If this occurs:
Workpiece must be securely clamped with the
clamp. This frees a hand to raise the guard by
WORKPIECE CLAMPS (FIG. 24)
The miter saw has two mounting holes behind
the fences to mount the work clamp. To ensure
optimum working safety, the workpiece must
always be firmly clamped.
a. Insert the work clamp into the mounting hole
behind the fence.
b. Rotate the knob to position the work clamp
over the workpiece and tighten the knob to
secure the workpiece to the table.
NOTICE: Other hold-down devices such as
C-clamps can be used to hold the workpiece
firmly against the table and the fence. Make
sure the clamps are clear of the cutting path.
WARNING
possible to keep hands far from the blade.
Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are held
by hand or too small to be securely clamped.

(Fig. 23b).
Start the saw and begin your cut. Once you
have cleared the position where the lower guard
may bind, release the guard and it will continue
to operate automatically as you cut.
Always check to make sure the lower guard
is completely functional. With the tool
disconnected from the power source, lift the
lower guard all way up and release it. The lower
guard should immediately and fully close. If

using the tool and have is serviced.

is no interference with the blade guard prior to
beginning any cutting operation to reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
WARNING
with the saw off by conducting a simulated
cutting cycle, and observe the projected
path of the saw blade. Keep hands at least 6
inches (152 mm) away from the projected
path of the saw blade.
