UNPACKING YOUR COMPOUND SLIDING MBTER SAW
PROHiBiTED ACCESSORIES
To avoid injury:
° Use only accessories recommended for this sliding
miter saw. Follow instructions that accompany
accessories. Use of improper accessories may cause
hazards.
o The use of any cutting tool except 12 inch saw blades
which meet the requirements under recommended
accessories is prohibited. Do not use accessories such
as shaper cutters or dado sets. Ferrous metal cutting
and the use of abrasive wheels is prohibited.
• Do not attempt to modify this tool or create
accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Any
such alteration or modification is misuse and could
result in a hazardous condition leading to possible
serious injury.
Read warnings and conditions on your CARBIDETIPPED
SAW BLADE. Do not operate the saw without the proper
saw blade guard in place. Carbide is a very hard but brittle
material. Care should be taken while mounting, using, and
storing carbide blades to prevent accidental damage. Slight
shocks, such as striking the tip while handling, can seriously
damage the blade. Foreign objects in the workpiece, such as
wire or nails, can also cause tips to crack or break off.
Before using, always visually examine the blade and tips
for bent blade, cracks, breakage, missing or loose tips, or
other damage. Do not use if damage is suspected. Failure to
heed safety instructions and warnings can result in serious
bodily injury.
UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS
To avoid injury:
• Do not plug the power cord into a power source
receptacle during unpacking and assembly. This cord
must remain unplugged whenever you are working on
the saw.
Get help whenever you have to lift the saw. This saw
is heavy.
If any part is missing or damaged, do not plug the sliding
miter saw in until the missing or damaged part is
replaced, and assembly is complete. To avoid electric
shock, use only identical replacement parts when
servicing double insulated tools.
Carefully unpack the sliding miter saw and all its parts, and
compare against the illustration on page 9.
1. Before removing the saw from the shipping carton,
tighten the carriage lock knob to guard against
sudden movement.
2. DO NOT LIFT the sliding miter saw by the cutting
head handle. Damage to the insulation or wire
connections could cause fire. Remove the saw from
the carton by lifting with the hand-holds at the base of
the saw body, or use the carry handle.
3. Place the saw on a secure, stationary work surface
and look the saw over carefully.
