• Never lift this saw by grasping the base ex-
tensions when they are in the extended po-
sition.
• Unplug electric cord and wind up. Use the
hook and loop strap to hold the wrapped
cord together.
• Never lift the saw by gripping any of the
mechanism parts. The saw may move and
cause severe injuries to your fingers or hands.
• To avoid back injury, hold the tool close to
your body when lifting. Bend your knees so
you can lift with your legs, not your back. Lift-
ing the saw from the back is the preferred
method. This will tip the tool toward your
body.
• Never lift tool by holding switch handle. This
may cause serious damage.
• Never lift the miter saw by the power cord
or the operational handle. Attempting to lift
or carry the tool by the power cord will
damage the insulation and the wire connec-
tions, resulting in electric shock or fire.
• Place the saw on a firm, level surface where
there is plenty of room for handling and
properly supporting the workpiece.
ONLY lift this saw by the cast-in carry handles
at each side of the bottom of the base (see
Figure 28).
