Additional Safety Warnings For Miter Saw - Craftsman CMXEMAX69434501 Instruction Manual

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.
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.
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.
Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a level,
•
rm work surface before use. A level and rm work
surface reduces the risk of the miter saw becoming
unstable.
Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or
•
miter 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.
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 miter saw table can tip if not securely supported.
If the cut-o piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower
guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
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.
The cut-o piece must not be jammed or pressed by
•
any means against the spinning saw blade. If con ned,
i.e. using length stops, the cut-o piece could get wedged
against the blade and thrown violently.
• Always use a clamp or a xture 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.
• 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 o . 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 nishing the cut, release the switch, hold the
saw head down and wait for the blade to stop before
removing the cut-o piece. Reaching with your hand
near the coasting blade is dangerous.
• Hold the handle rmly 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.

Additional safety warnings for miter saw

• Use only saw blades recommended by the manufacturer
for wood and analogous materials.
• Pay attention to the cutting capacities mentioned in the
technical date.
• Pay attention to the maximum bevel angle and miter
angle settings mentioned in the technical data.
• Use only a saw blade diameter in accordance with the
markings on the saw and information about the bore
diameter and the maximum kerf of the saw blade.
• Use only saw blades that are marked with a speed equal or
higher than the speed marked on the tool.
• During blade changing procedure, the rotation direction
arrow on the saw blade should comply with the one on the
upper xed blade guard.
• Pay attention to the setting device(s) and the locking
device(s) for the miter angle and bevel angel mentioned in
the controls.
• Turn the lower retractable blade guard by hand to test if it
is rotating smoothly.
• Pay attention to how to connect dust extraction systems
mentioned in assembly.
• Pay attention to the cutting sequence mentioned in the
operation.
• Pay attention to the cutting depth for non-through cuts
mentioned in the controls. Ensure that the miter saw is
always stable and secure.
• Always x and use the extension supporter during
operation.
• Use additional supports if needed to ensure the stability of
the workpiece.
• The power tool shall not be wet or applied in wet
environment.
• Check the product, its power cord and plug as well as
accessories for damage before each use. Do not use the
product if it is damaged or shows wear.
• Double check that the accessories and attachments are
properly xed.
• Always hold the product on its handle. Keep the handle dry
to ensure safe support.
• Ensure that the air vents are always unobstructed and
clear. Clean them if necessary with a soft brush. Blocked air
vents may lead to overheating and damage the product.
• Switch the product o immediately if you are disturbed
while working by other people entering the working area.
Always let the product come to complete stop before
putting it down.
• Do not overwork yourself. Take regular breaks to ensure
