BODY AND HAND POSITION (FIG. U)
Proper positioningof your body and hands when
operating the miter saw will make cutting easier and
safer. Never place hands near the cutting area. Place
hand at least 7-1/4" away from the path of the blade.
Hold workplece firmly against the fence to prevent
movement toward the blade. Keep hands in position
until the trigger has been released and the blade has
completely stopped. Before making a cut, with the
power switch in the OFF position bring the saw blade
down to the workplece to see the cutting path of the
blade.
•
Keep children away. Keep all visitors a safe
distance from the miter saw. Make sure
bystanders are clear of the miter saw and
workplece.
•
Don't force the tool. It will do the job better and
safer at its designed rate. Feed the saw into
the workpiece slowlywith a firm downward
motion.
Before freeing jammed material:
•
Turn switch OFF.
•
Unplug the miter saw.
•
Wait for all moving parts to stop.
After
finishing
a cut:
•
Hold the upper cutting head down.
•
Release the switch, and wait for all moving
parts to stop before moving your hands.
•
if the blade doesn't stop within 6 seconds,
unplug the saw and follow the instructionsin

TURNING THE SAW ON (FIG. V)
To reduce the likelihoodof accidental starting, a
thumb activated lock-OFF switch is located on top of
the switch handle. The lock-OFF switch (1) must be
pushed forward before the trigger switch (2) can be
activated and the miter saw started.

Make the switch child-proof. Insert a padlock
through the hole (3) in the trigger switch and lock
it. This will prevent children and other
unauthorized users from turning the switch ON.
