• PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORKPIECES. Loss of control of the workpiece
can cause injury.
• NEVER cross arms in front of blade while using tool. Always make a dry run (unpowered) before
making a finish cut so that you can check the path of the blade or severe personal injury may
result.
• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of power tools (i.e.
a safety video) is available from the Power Tool Institute, 1300 Sumner Avenue, Cleveland,
OH 44115-2851 (www.powertoolinstitute.com). Information is also available from the National
Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201. Please refer to the American
National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety Requirements for Woodworking Machines and
the U.S. Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213 Regulations.
WARNING: Do not connect unit to electrical power source until complete instructions are read
and understood.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI
S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product
may contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING: NEVER MAKE ANY CUT UNLESS THE MATERIAL IS SECURED ON THE TABLE
AND AGAINST THE FENCE.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and
other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with
soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may
promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disburse dust, which may cause serious and
permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.
For your convenience and safety, the following warning labels are on your miter saw.

saw will operate on alternating current. The switch is suseptible to failure if direct current is used.
A voltage decrease of 10 percent or more will cause a loss of power and overheating. All D
tools are factory tested. If this tool does not operate, check the power supply.
