Never cut freehand:
● Brace your workpiece rmly against the fence and table stop so it will not rock or twist during
the cut.
● Make sure there is no debris between the workpiece and the table or fence. Make sure there
are no gaps between the workpiece, fence and table that will let the workpiece shift after it is
cut.
● Keep the cut piece free to move sideways after it is cut off. Otherwise, it could get wedged
against the blade and thrown violently.
● Only the workpiece should be on the saw table.
● Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to help hold the work when it is practical.
USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH LARGE OR ODD SHAPED WORKPIECES
● Use extra supports (tables, sawhorses, blocks, etc.) for workpieces large enough to tip.
● Never use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as an additional support for
a workpiece that is longer or wider than the basic miter saw table, or to help feed, support or
pull the workpiece.
● Do not use this saw to cut small pieces. If the workpiece being cut would cause your hand or
ngers to be within 6-11/16 in. of the saw blade, the workpiece is too small. Keep hands and
ngers out of the “no-hands zone” area marked on the saw table.
● When cutting odd shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not bind in the blade and cause
possible injury. Moulding, for example, must lie at or be held by a xture or jig that will not let
it move when cut.
● Properly support round material such as dowel rods or tubing, which have a tendency to roll
when cut, causing the blade to “bite.”
WHEN SAW IS RUNNING
Do not allow familiarity from frequent use of your miter saw to result in a careless mistake.
A careless fraction of a second is enough to cause severe injury.
Before cutting, if the saw makes an unfamiliar noise or vibrates, stop immediately. Turn the saw
OFF. Unplug the saw. Do not restart until you nd and correct the problem.
To ensure the blade path is clear of obstructions, always make a dry run of the cut without power
before making any cuts on the workpiece.
