.............. _ ,_;_
blocks, etc,)for any workpieces large enou-
gh to tip when not held down to the tabte
top.
b. Do not use this saw to cut pieces too small
to let you easily hold the work while you
keep the thumb side of your index (poi-
nter) finger against the outside edge of the
fence.
c. When
cutting irregularly
shaped
work*
pieces, plan your work so it will not slip
and pinch the blade. A piece of motding,
for example, must lie flat or be held by a
fixture or jig that will not let it twist, rock
or slip while being cut.
d. Properly support round material such as
dowel
rods, or
tubing. They
have
a
tendency to roll while being cut, causing
the blade to _bite. _ To avoid this, always
use a fixture
designed to properly hold
your work piece.
• Make sure there are
no nails or foreign
objects in the part of the workpiece to be cut.
• Make sure bystanders are clear of the tool and
workpiece. Keep them clear of the area behind
the saw where debris will be thrown.
• Never turn
your
miter
saw
_ON_
before
clearing everything except the workpiece and
related support devices off the table.
D. To avoid risk of hearing damage, wear ear
plugs or muffs during extended
periods of
operation.
E, To avoid being suddenly pufled into the blade:
1. Do not wear gloves.
2. Remove all jewelry and loose clothing.
3. Tie back long hair.
4. Rol! long sleeves above the elbow.
G, To avoid an electrical shock, make sure your
fingers do not touch the metal prongs on the
plug when inserting or removing the plug to
or from a live outlet.
H. Never put lubricants on the blade while it's
spinning,
1. To avoid burns or other fire damage, never
use the saw near flammable liquids, vapors or
gases.
J. To avoid injury from unsafe accessories, use
only accessories shown on the recommended
accessories list in this manual.
