MITER SAW SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid

contact with any coasting blade. It can still

cause severe injury.

2. Check the saw blade carefully for cracks or

deformation before operation.

Replace damaged blades immediately.

3. Replace the kerf board when worn.

4. Use only saw blades specified by the

manufacturer which conform to EN847-1.

5. Do not use saw blades manufactured from

high speed steel.

6. Wear eye protection.

7. Wear hearing protection to reduce the risk of

hearing loss.

8. Wear gloves for handling saw blade (saw

blades shall be carried in a holder wherever

practicable) and rough material.

9. Connect miter saws to a dust collecting device

when sawing.

10. Select saw blades in relation to the material to

be cut.

11. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood,

aluminum or similar materials.

12. Always secure all moving portions before

carrying the tool. When lifting or carrying the

tool, do not use the guard as a carrying

handle.

13. Do not operate saw without guards in place.

Check blade guard for proper closing before

each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard

does not move freely and close instantly.

Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the

open position.

14. Keep the floor area free of loose material e.g.

chips and cut-offs.

15. Use only saw blades that are marked with a

maximum speed equal to or higher than the no

load speed marked on the tool.

16. When the tool is fitted with a laser or LED, do

not replace the laser or LED with a different

type. Ask an authorized service center for repair.

17. Never remove any cut-offs or other parts of the

workpiece from the cutting area whilst the tool

is running with an unguarded saw blade.

18. Do not perform any operation freehand. The

workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn

base and guide fence with the vise during all

operations. Never use your hand to secure the

workpiece.

19. Ensure that the tool is stable before each cut.

20. Fix the tool to a work bench, if needed.

21. Support long workpieces with appropriate

additional supports.

22. Never cut so small workpiece which cannot be

securely held by the vise. Improperly held

workpiece may cause kickback and serious

personal injury.

23. Never reach around saw blade.

24.

Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop

before moving workpiece or changing settings.

25. Unplug tool before changing blade or

servicing.

26. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down

is for carrying and storage purposes only and

not for any cutting operations.

27.

Do not use the tool in the presence of

flammable liquids or gases.

The electrical

operation of the tool could create an explosion and

fire when exposed to flammable liquids or gases.

28. Use only flanges specified for this tool.

29. Be careful not to damage the arbor, flanges

(especially the installing surface) or bolt.

Damage to these parts could result in blade

breakage.

30. Make sure that the turn base is properly

secured so it will not move during operation.

31.

For your safety, remove the chips, small pieces,

etc. from the table top before operation.

32. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all

nails from the workpiece before operation.

33. Make sure the shaft lock is released before the

switch is turned on.

34. Be sure that the blade does not contact the

turn base in the lowest position.

35. Hold the handle firmly. Be aware that the saw

moves up or down slightly during start-up and

stopping.

36. Make sure the blade is not contacting the

workpiece before the switch is turned on.

37. 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.

38. Wait until the blade attains full speed before

cutting.

39. Stop operation immediately if you notice

anything abnormal.

40. Do not attempt to lock the trigger in the on

position.

41. Be alert at all times, especially during

repetitive, monotonous operations. Do not be

lulled into a false sense of security. Blades are

extremely unforgiving.

42. Always use accessories recommended in this

manual. Use of improper accessories such as

abrasive wheels may cause an injury.
