Failure to follow these rules may result in serious personal injury.
1.
DO
NOT
OPERATE
THIS
MACHINE
until
it is
completely
assembled
and installed according
to the
instructions.
A machine
incorrectly
assembled
can
cause serious injury.
2.
OBTAIN
ADVICE
from
your
supervisor,
instructor,
or another
qualified
person if you are not thoroughly
familiar with the operation
of this machine.
Knowledge
is safety.
3.
FOLLOW
ALL WIRING
CODES
and recommended
electrical
connections
to
prevent
shock
or
electrocution.
4.
DO NOT OPERATE
ON ANYTHING
OTHER
THAN
THE DESIGNATED
VOLTAGE for the saw.
5.
SECURE THE MACHINE TO A STABLE SUPPORTING
SURFACE. Vibration
can possibly
cause the machine
to slide, walk, or tip over, causing serious injury.
6.
USE ONLY CROSSCUT
SAW
BLADES.
Use only
zero-degree
or negative
hook
angles
when
using
carbide-tipped
blades.
Do not use blades with deep
gullets. These can deflect
and contact
the guard, and
can cause
damage
to the machine
and/or
serious
injury.
7.
USE ONLY BLADES
OF THE CORRECT
SIZE AND
TYPE specified
for this tool to prevent damage to the
machine and/or serious injury.
8.
MAKE
CERTAIN
BLADE
ROTATES
IN CORRECT
DIRECTION
and that the teeth at the bottom
of the
blade point to the rear of the saw.
9.
USE BLADE GUARD AT ALL TIMES. Don't spray any
lubricants
or cleaners
(particularly
spray or aerosol) in
the vicinity
of the plastic
guard. The polycarbonate
material
sued
in the guard
is subject
to attack
by
certain chemicals.
10.
USE A SHARP
BLADE.
Check the blade to see if it
runs true and is free from vibration.
A dull blade or
a vibrating
blade can cause damage
to the machine
and/or serious injury.
11.
DON'T WEDGE
ANYTHING
AGAINST
THE FAN to
hold the motor shaft.
12.
DON'T
USE ABRASIVE
WHEELS.
The excessive
heat and abrasive
particles
generated
by them will
damage
the saw.
13.
INSPECT
BLADE
FOR CRACKS
or other damage
prior to operation.
A cracked
or damaged
blade can
come apart and pieces can be thrown at high speeds,
causing
serious injury. Replace
cracked
or damaged
blades immediately.
14.
CLEAN THE BLADE AND BLADE FLANGES
prior to
operation.
Cleaning
the blade and flanges allows you
to check for any damage
to the blade or flanges.
A
cracked
or damaged
blade or flange can come apart
and pieces can be thrown
at high speeds,
causing
serious injury.
15.
ALWAYS
USE THE KERF
PLATE
AND
REPLACE
THIS
PLATE
WHEN
DAMAGED.
Small
chip
accumulation
under the saw may interfere
with the
saw blade or may cuase instability
of workpiece
when
cutting.
16.
USE ONLY BLADE
FLANGES
specified
for this tool
to prevent
damage
to the machine
and/or
serious
injury.
17.
CLEAR THE AREA OF FLAMMABLE
LIQUIDS
and/
or gas prior to operation.
Sparks can occur that would
ignite the liquids and cause a fire or an explosion.
18.
CLEAN
THE
MOTOR
AIR
SLOTS
of chips
and
sawdust.
Clogged
motor
air slots
can cause
the
machine
to overheat,
damaging
the machine
and
possibly
causing
a short which
could cause serious
injury.
19.
TIGHTEN
THE TABLE
CLAMP
HANDLE
and any
other clamps
prior to operation.
Loose clamps
can
cause parts or the workpiece
to be thrown
at high
speeds.
20.
NEVER START THE TOOL with the blade against the
workpiece.
The workpiece
can be thrown,
causing
serious injury.
21.
KEEP ARMS, HANDS,
AND FINGERS
away from the
blade to prevent severe cuts. Clamp all workpieces
that
would
cause
your
hand
to be in the "Table
Hazard Zone" (within the red lines).
22.
DON'T
PLACE HANDS
IN THE BLADE AREA when
the saw is connected
to a power source.
23.
DON'T
REACH
UNDERNEATH
THE SAW unless
it
is unplugged
or turned off. The saw blade is exposed
on the underside
of the saw.
24.
ALLOW
THE MOTOR
TO COME
TO FULL SPEED
prior to starting
cut. Starting
the cut too soon
can
cause
damage
to the
machine
or
blade
and/or
serious injury.
25.
NEVER REACH
AROUND
or behind the saw blade.
A moving blade can cause serious injury.
26.
NEVER CUT FERROUS
METALS
or masonry.
Either
of these can cause the carbide
tips to fly off the blade
at high speeds causing
serious injury.
27.
NEVER
CUT SMALL
PIECES.
Cutting
small pieces
can causeyour
hand to move into the blade, resulting
in senous injury.
28.
NEVER
LOCK
THE SWITCH
in the "ON" position.
Setting
up the next cut could
cause
your
hand to
move into the blade, resulting
in severe injury.
29.
NEVER
APPLY
LUBRICANT
to a running
blade.
Applying
lubricant
could
cause
your hand to move
into the blade, resulting
in serious injury.
30.
DO NOT
PERFORM
FREE-HAND
OPERATIONS.
Hold the work
firmly
against
the fence
and table.
Free-hand
operations
on a miter
saw could
cause
the workpiece
to be thrown
at high speeds,
causing
serious
injury.
Use clamps
to hold the work when
possible.
31.
TURN
OFF THE MACHINE
and allow the blade
to
come to a complete
stop prior to cleaning
the blade
area or removing
debris in the path of the blade. A
moving blade can cause serious injury.
32.
PROPERLY
SUPPORT
LONG
OR WIDE
WORK-
PIECES.
Loss of control of the workpiece
can cause
injury.
33.
NEVER PERFORM LAYOUT, ASSEMBLY, OR SET-UP
WORK
on the table/work
area when the machine
is
running. A sudden
slip could cause a hand to move
into the blade. Severe injury can result.
34.
DON'T ALLOW
ANYONE
to stand behind the saw.
35.
TURN THE MACHINE"OFF",
disconnect
the machine
from the power source, and clean the table/work
area
before leaving the machine.
LOCK THE SWITCH
IN
THE "OFF"
POSITION
to prevent unauthorized
use.
Someone
else might
accidentally
start
the machine
and cause injury to themselves.
36.
BEFORE OPERATING
THE SAW, check and securely
lock the bevel, miter, and sliding fence adjustments.
37.
