Plan Ahead To Protect Your Eyes, Hands, Face and Ears

Dress for safety
• Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands,
face, ears.

neckties or jewelry (rings, wrist
watches). They can get caught and draw
you into moving parts.

• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
• Noise levels vary widely. To reduce the
risk of possible hearing damage, wear
ear plugs or muffs when using tool for
hours at a time.
• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask
along with safety goggles.

Whenever Attached Tool Is Running

Keep Children Away
• Keep all visitors a safe distance from the
tool.
• Make sure bystanders are clear of the
tool and workpiece.
Before freeing jammed material
• Turn switch "OFF".
• Wait for all moving parts to stop.
To reduce the risk of injury from unex-
pected tool movement.
• Always mount miter saw so the work-
piece is positioned in-line with the rollers.
• Check to make sure workstand does not
rock, slide or move prior to use.
• Put the workstand on a firm level surface
where there is plenty of room to handle
and properly support the workpiece.
• To reduce the risk of burns or other fire
damage, never use the workstand and
tool near flammable liquids, vapors or
gases.
• Any power tool can throw foreign objects
into the eyes, which can result in severe
eye damage. Always wear safety gog-
gles, not glasses, complying with ANSI
Z87.1(or in Canada CSA Z94.3-99)
shown on package. Everyday eye-
glasses have only impact resistant
lenses. They are not safety glasses.
Safety Goggles are available at many
local retail stores. Glasses or goggles
not in compliance with ANSI or CSA
could seriously hurt you when they
break.
