•
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.
Let the blade reach full speed before
•
contacting the workpiece. This will reduce
the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
If the workpiece or blade becomes
•
jammed, turn the miter 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 miter saw.
After finishing the cut, release the switch,

•
saw blade. Contact with blade will result in
serious injury.
