OPERATION
PLAN YOUR WORK
Use the right tool. Do not force a tool or attachment to do a job it was not designed
to do. Use a different tool for any workpiece that can’t be held in a solidly braced,
fixed position.
DRESS FOR SAFETY
Any power tool can throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can result in permanent
eye damage. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses, and are not
safety glasses. Glasses or goggles that are not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could
seriously injure you if they break.
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewellery (rings, watches, etc.).
They can get caught and draw you into moving parts.
• Wear non-slip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing damage, wear ear plugs when
using any mitre saw.
• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with safety goggles.
INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE
Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece being
cut. Plan your work to avoid small pieces that may bind or that are too small to clamp
and get a solid grasp on. Plan the way you will grasp the workpiece from start to
finish. Avoid awkward operations and hand positions. A sudden slip could cause your
fingers or hand to move into the blade.
DO NOT OVERREACH
Keep good footing and balance. Keep your face and body to one side, out of the line
of a possible kickback. NEVER stand in the line of the blade.
CAUTION:
This machine is NOT designed for cutting masonry, masonry products &
ferrous metals (steel, iron, and iron-based metals). Use this mitre saw to
cut only wood & wood-like products. Other material may shatter, bind
the blade, or create other dangers. Remove all nails that may be in the
workpiece to prevent sparking that could cause a fire.
