i) Cut only one workpiece at a time.
Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or
braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting.
j) Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a level,
fi
rm
work surface before use.
A level and
fi
rm work surface reduces the risk of the miter saw
becoming unstable.
k) Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel or miter
angle setting, make sure the adjustable fence is set correctly
to support the workpiece and will not interfere with the blade
or the guarding system.
Without turning the tool “ON” and with no workpiece on the table,
move the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to assure
there will be no interference or danger of cutting the fence.
I) Provide adequate support such as table extensions, saw
horses, etc. for a workpiece that is wider or longer than the
table top.
Workpieces longer or wider than the miter saw table can tip if not
securely supported. If the cut-o
ff
piece or workpiece tips, it can
lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.
m) Do not use another person as a substitute for a table
extension or as additional support.
Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind
or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you
and the helper into the spinning blade.
n) The cut-o
ff
piece must not be jammed or pressed by any
means against the spinning saw blade.
If
con
fi
ned, i.e. using length stops, the cut-o
ff
piece could get
wedged against the blade and thrown violently.
o) Always use a clamp or a
fi
xture designed to properly support
round material such as rods or tubing.
Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to
"bite" and pull the work with your hand into the blade.
p) Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the
workpiece.
This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being thrown.
q) If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn the miter
saw o
ff
. Wait for all moving parts to stop and disconnect the
plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack.
Then work to free the jammed material.
Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could cause lass of
control or damage to the miter saw.
r) After
fi
nishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw head
down and wait for the blade to stop before removing the
cut-o
ff
piece.
Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is dangerous.
s) Hold the handle
fi
rmly when making an incomplete cut or
when releasing the switch before the saw head is completely
in the down position.
The braking action of the saw may cause the saw head to be
suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk of injury.

8.
Always shut o
ff
the power and wait for the saw blade to completely
stop rotating before doing any maintenance or adjustments.
9.
Always clamp or otherwise secure the workpiece to the fence;
otherwise the workpiece might be thrust form the table and cause
bodily harm.
10.
During miter or bevel cutting, always wait for the rotation of the
blade to stop completely before lifting the saw blade.
11.
Always make a trial run
fi
rst before attempting any new use of the
saw.
12.
Always handle the saw blade with care when dismounting and
mounting it.
13.
Always con
fi
rm that the workpiece is free of nails or other foreign
objects before beginning a cut.
14.
Always keep your hands out of the path of the saw blade.
15.
Always con
fi
rm that the lower guard is in the proper place before
using the saw.
16.
Inspect the tool power cords periodically.
17.
Always con
fi
rm that the proper lengths and types of extension
cords are being utilized, if necessary, before starting the tool.
18.

fi
rm that the motor air vents are fully open before using

19.
Always wait until the motor has reached full speed before starting
a cut.
20.
Always keep the handles dry, clean and free of oil and grease.
Hold the tool
fi
rmly when in use.
21.
Always use outboard stands to provide support for long workpieces
that overhang the table of the compound miter saw.
22.
Always operate the tool after ensuring the workpiece is
fi
xed
properly with a vise assembly.
23.
The operating instructions provided with the tool shall direct the
user to secure the tool to supporting structure if, during normal
operation, there is a tendency for the tool to tip over, slide, or walk
on the supporting surface.
24.
Remove all packing materials attached or connected to the tool
before attempting to operate it.
25.
Ensure before each cut that the machine is stable.
26.
If the saw blade should become jammed, switch the machine o
ff
and hold the workpiece until the saw blade comes to a complete
stop. To prevent kickback, the workpiece may not be moved until
after the machine has come to a complete stop.
Correct the cause for the jamming of the saw blade before
restarting the machine.
27.
Use only saw blades that are marked with a maximum permitted
speed equal or higher than the no-load speed marked on the
POWER TOOL.
28.
Use only a saw blade diameter in accordance with the markings
on the POWER TOOL.
29.
