SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR
COMPOUND MITER SAW
● WOOD ONLY. This tool is designed for woodcutting only.
● DAMAGED OR WARPED SAW BLADES should not be used. They are
out of balance and could cause further damage to the saw and possible
personal injury.
● USE ONLY WITH GUARD IN PLACE. The guard protects you, the
operator, from cutting debris as well as from broken pieces of the blade
if it breaks in use.
● REPLACE THE TABLE INSERT WHEN WORN. Excessive tear-out
increases the likelihood of injury from flying debris. When setting the
saw at a new angle, check that due to some mis-alignment, the blade
does not cut into the table insert, rear fence, or another part of your
saw.
● ALWAYS USE THE BLADE WRENCH to tighten the saw blade onto
the arbor.
● CONNECT YOUR MITER SAW TO A DUST COLLECTING DEVICE if
possible. If not, use the dust bag that comes with the tool and empty it
regularly.
● USE A SAWBLADE SUITED TO THE CUTTING JOB AND MATERIAL
TO BE CUT.
