h) Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the
workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade
can be thrown with high speed.
i) Cut only one workpiece at a time. Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped
or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
j) Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before use. A level
and firm work surface reduces the risk of the miter saw becoming unstable.
k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or miter angle setting, make sure the
adjustable fence is set correctly to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the
blade or the guarding system. Without turning the tool "ON" and with no workpiece on the table,
move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure there will be no interference or
danger of cutting the fence.
NOTE the phrase "bevel or" does not apply for saws without bevel adjustment.
l) Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that
is wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces longer or wider than the miter saw table can
tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be
thrown by the spinning blade.
m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support.
Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during
the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade.
n) The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed by any means against the spinning saw
blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade
and thrown violently.
o) Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such as rods
or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the
work with your hand into the blade.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the
workpiece being thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the miter saw off. Wait for all moving parts
to stop and disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack.
Then work to free the jammed material. Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could
cause loss of control or damage to the miter saw.
r) After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head down and wait for the blade to
stop before removing the cut-off piece. Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is
dangerous.
s) Hold the handle firmly when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before
the saw head is completely in the down position. The braking action of the saw may cause the
saw head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.
