WARNING
!
Never place hands near the cutting area. Proper
positioning of your body and hands when
operating the miter saw will make cutting easier
and safer. Keep children away. Keep all visitors
at a safe distance from the miter saw. Make sure
bystanders are clear of the saw and workpiece.

safer at its designed rate.

●
blade down to the workpiece to see the
cutting path of the blade.

●
downward motion.

Finishing a cut:

●
unplug the saw and follow the instructions in
