WARNING: Use proper circuit protection to avoid electrical hazards, fire
hazards, or damage to the tool.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Use only crosscutting saw blades. When using the mitre saw to cut
nonferrous metal, make sure the blade has a negative hook angle.
IMPORTANT: Do not use thin-kerf blades. Thin-kerf blades can deflect and
contact the guard, which may cause injury to the operator.
Do not operate the Mitre Saw until it is completely assembled and installed
according to these instructions.
If not thoroughly familiar with the operation of mitre saws, seek guidance
from a supervisor, instructor, or other qualified person.
Always hold the workpiece firmly against the fence and table. Do not perform
any operation freehand. Use a clamp or vise whenever possible
Keep hands out of the path of the saw blade. If holding the workpiece causes
the hands to be within the "No-Hands" zone (3'' (7.6 cm) away from the
blade), the workpiece should be clamped in place before making the cut.
Be sure the blade is sharp, runs freely, and is free of vibrations.
Allow the motor to come to full speed before starting a cut.
Keep the motor's air slots clean and free of chips or dust.
Always make sure all adjusting knobs are tightened before cutting, even if the
table is positioned in one of the positive stops.
