ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

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 another qualified person if
you are not familiar with the operation of this machine.
3. FOLLOW ALL WIRING CODES and recommended
electrical connections
electrocution.
4. SECURE THE MACHINE TO A SUPPORTING SURFACE.
Vibration can possibly cause the machine to slide,
walk, or tip over, causing serious injury.
5. 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.
6. USE ONLY BLADES OF THE CORRECT SIZE AND
TYPE specified for this tool to prevent damage to the
machine and/or serious injury.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. USE ONLY BLADE FLANGES specified for this tool
to prevent damage to the machine and/or serious
injury.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. NEVER START THE TOOL with the blade against the
workpiece. The workpiece can be thrown, causing
serious injury.
15. 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).
16. WHEN CUTTING WITH A COMPOUND SLIDING
MITER SAW, PUSH THE SAW FORWARD (AWAY
FROM YOU) and toward the fence. Pulling the saw
toward you can cause the saw to kick upward and
toward you.
17. WHEN USING A SLIDING MITER SAW AS A REGULAR
MITER SAW, LOCK THE SLIDE MECHANISM IN PLACE.
to prevent shock
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Refer to them often and use them to instruct others.
If the slide mechanism is not locked, the saw can kick
back toward you.
18. 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.
19. NEVER REACH AROUND or behind the saw blade.
A moving blade can cause serious injury.
or
20. 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.
21. NEVER CUT SMALL PIECES. Cutting small pieces
can cause your hand to move into the blade, resulting
in serious injury.
22. 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.
23. NEVER APPLY LUBRICANT to a running blade.
Applying lubricant could cause your hand to move
into the blade, resulting in serious injury.
24. 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.
25. AFTER COMPLETING CUT, release power switch
and wait for coasting blade to come to a complete
stop before returning saw to raised position. A
moving blade can cause serious injury.
26. 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.
27. TURN OFF MACHINE and allow the blade to come
to a complete stop before removing or securing
workpiece, changing workpiece angle, or changing
the angle of the blade. A moving blade can cause
serious injury.
28. PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORK-
PIECES. Loss of control of the workpiece can cause injury.
29. 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.
30. 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.
32. BEFORE OPERATING THE SAW, check and
securely lock the bevel, miter, and sliding fence
adjustments.
