COMPOUND MITER SAW SAFETY
●
USE ONLY CROSS-CUTTING OR COMBINATION SAW BLADES.
IMPORTANT:
The improper
blades may deflect and contact the blade guard and will cause possible injury to the operator.
●
DO NOT
operate the miter saw until it is completely assembled and installed according to these
instructions.
●
IF YOU ARE NOT
thoroughly familiar with the operation of a miter saw, seek guidance from your
supervisor, instructor or other qualified person.
●
ALWAYS
hold the work firmly against the fence and table. DO NOT perform any operation free
hand. Use clamp whenever possible.
●
KEEP HANDS
out of the path of the saw blade. If the workpiece you are cutting would cause your
hands to be within “no-hands zone” area of the saw blade, the workpiece should be clamped in
place before making the cut.
●
MAKE SURE
the blade is sharp, runs freely and is free of vibration.
●
ALLOW
the motor to come up to full speed before starting a cut.
●
KEEP THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS CLEAN
and free of chips or dust.
●
ALWAYS MAKE SURE
all handles are tight before cutting, even if the table is positioned in one of
the positive stops.
●
MAKE SURE
both the blade and the collar are clean and the arbor bolt is tightened securely.
●
USE
only blade collars specified for your saw.
●
NEVER
use blades larger than 7-1/4 in. diameter.
●
NEVER
apply lubricants to the blade when it is running.
●
ALWAYS
check the blade for cracks or damage before operation. Replace a cracked or damaged
blade immediately.
●
NEVER
use blades recommended for operation at less than 5,000 RPM.
●
ALWAYS
keep the blade guards in place and use at all times.
●
NEVER
reach around the saw blade.
●
MAKE SURE
the blade is not in contact with the workpiece before the switch is turned ON.
●
IMPORTANT:
After completing the cut, release the trigger switch and wait for the blade to stop
before returning the saw to the raised position.
●
MAKE SURE
the blade has come to a complete stop before removing or securing the workpiece,
changing the workpiece angle or changing the angle of the blade.
●
NEVER
cut metals or masonry products with this tool. This miter saw is designed for use on wood
and wood-like products.
●
TO PREVENT
severe cuts or injury, clamp all workpieces that can cause your arms, hands or
fingers to move within 6-3/4” of the saw blade.
●
PROVIDE
adequate support to the sides of the saw table for long workpieces.
●
NEVER
use the miter saw in an area with flammable liquids or gases.
●
NEVER
use solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage
the material.
