4.
Do not perform any operation freehand.
The
workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn
base and guide fence with the vise during all opera-
tions. Never use your hand to secure the workpiece.
5.
Never reach around saw blade.
6.
Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop
before moving workpiece or changing settings.
7.
Unplug tool before changing blade or servicing.
8.
Always secure all moving portions before carry-
ing the tool.
9.
Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down is
for carrying and storage purposes only and not
for any cutting operations.
10.
Don’t use the tool in the presence of flammable liq-
uids or gases.
11.
Check the blade carefully for cracks or damage
before operation.
Replace cracked or damaged blade immediately.
12.
Use only flanges specified for this tool.
13.
Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges (espe-
cially the installing surface) or bolt. Damage to these
parts could result in blade breakage.
14.
Make sure that the turn base is properly secured so
it will not move during operation.
15.
For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces, etc.
from the table top before operation.
16.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails
from the workpiece before operation.
17.
Make sure the shaft lock is released before the
switch is turned on.
18.
Be sure that the blade does not contact the turn
base in the lowest position.
19.
Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw moves
up or down slightly during start-up and stopping.
20.
Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece
before the switch is turned on.
21.
Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it
run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that
could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced
blade.
22.
Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting.
23.
Stop operation immediately if you notice anything
abnormal.
24.
Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on position.
25.
Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive,
monotonous operations. Don’t be lulled into a false
sense of security. Blades are extremely unforgiving.
26.
Always use accessories recommended in this man-
ual. Use of improper accessories such as abrasive
wheels may cause an injury.
27. Do not use the saw to cut other than aluminum,
wood or similar materials.
28. Connect miter saws to a dust collecting device
when sawing.
29. Select saw blades in relation to the material to
be cut.
30. Take care when slotting.
31. Replace the kerf board when worn.
32. Do not use saw blades manufactured from high
speed steel.
33. Some dust created from operation contains
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects
or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based-painted material and,
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depend-
ing on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work
in a well ventilated area and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out micro-
scopic particles.
34. To reduce the emitted noise, always be sure that
the blade is sharp and clean.
35. The operator is adequately trained in the use,
adjustment and operation of the machine.
36. Use correctly sharpened saw blades. Observe
the maximum speed marked on the saw blade.
37. Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other
parts of the workpiece from the cutting area
whilst the machine is running and the saw head
is not in the rest position.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION
Bench mounting
When the tool is shipped, the handle is locked in the low-
ered position by the stopper pin. Release the stopper pin
by lowering the handle slightly and pulling the stopper
pin.
(Fig. 1)
This tool should be bolted with two bolts to a level and
stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool’s
base. This will help prevent tipping and possible injury.
(Fig. 2)
Turn the adjusting bolt clockwise or counterclockwise so
that it comes into a contact with the floor surface to keep
the tool stable.
(Fig. 3)
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the
tool.
Blade guard (Fig. 4 & 5)
When lowering the handle, the blade guard A rises auto-
matically. The blade guard B rises as it contacts a work-
piece. The guards are spring loaded so they return to
their original positions when the cut is completed and the
handle is raised. NEVER DEFEAT OR REMOVE THE
BLADE GUARD OR THE SPRING WHICH ATTACHES
TO THE GUARD.
In the interest of your personal safety, always maintain
each blade guard in good condition. Any irregular opera-
tion of the blade guard should be corrected immediately.
Check to assure spring loaded return action of guard.
NEVER USE THE TOOL IF THE BLADE GUARD OR
SPRING ARE DAMAGED, FAULTY OR REMOVED.
DOING SO IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
If the see-through blade guard becomes dirty, or sawdust
adheres to it in such a way that the blade is no longer
easily visible, unplug the saw and clean the guard care-
fully with a damp cloth. Do not use solvents or any petro-
leum-based cleaners on the plastic guard.
