z&WARNING: Do not permit fingers to touch the terminal or plug when
Installing or removing the plug from an outleL
1 Double insulated tools are equipped w_th a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other)_Thls plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way_ If the plug does not fit fully in the Cover of (_lj_'_
outlet, reverse the plug_ If it still does not lit, Grounded
contact a qualified electrlctan to install a Outlet Box-- _ _.._-.
polarized outlet Do not change the plug in any (_..jIt'_
way
2 Double lnsulalfonD eliminates the need for the
three-wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system. Applicable only to Class tl
(double-insulated) tools This compound miter
saw is a double insulated tool
z_WARNING: Double Insulation DOES NOT take the place of normal
safety precautions when operating thtstool.
3 BEFORE plugging in lhe tool, BE SURE that the outlet voltage supplied is withtn
the voltage marked on the tool's data plate DO NOT use "AC only" rated tools with
a DC power supply,
4 AVOID body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators There Is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded
5 DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions or use power too_s In
wet or damp locations. Water entering a power tool wtl_ increase the rlsk of
electric shock This tool is intended for indoor use only
6 if operating a power tool In damp locations Is unavoidable, ALWAYS USE a
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter to supply power to your toot. ALWAYS WEAR
electrfelan's rubber gloves and footwear In damp conditions,
7 INSPECT tool cords for damage. Have damaged toot cords repaired at a Sears
Service Center BE SURE to stay constantly aware of the cord location and keep it
welt away from the moving blade
8 DO NOT abuse tile cord° NEVER Use the cord to carry the toot by or to pull
the plug from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts Replace damaged cords immediately Damaged cords increase the risk of
electric shock
EXTENSION CORDS
Use a proper extension cord. ONLY use cords listed by Underwriters Laboratories
(UL) Other extension cords can cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of
power and overheating of tool
For this tool an AWG (American Wire Gauge) size of a least 14-gauge is
recommended for an extension cord of 25- ft. or less in length Use 12-gauge for an
extension cord of 50-It Extension cords 100-fto or longer are not recommended.,
Remember, a smaller wire gauge size has greater capacity than a larger number
(14-gauge wire has more capacily than 16-gauge wire; 12-gauge wire has more
capacity than 14-gauge) When in doubl use lhe smaller number
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor extension cord marked
"W-A" or "W" These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric
shock,
Z_ CAUTION: Keep the extension cord clear of the working arem Posltfon
the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools or other obstructions
while you are working with a power tool,
Z_ WARNING: Check extension cords before each use+ If damaged
replace immediately, Never use tool with e damaged cord since touching
the damaged area could cause electrical shock, resulting In serloue Injury,

with the blade touching the workptece, ALWAYS allow the motor to come up
to full speed BEFORE starting a cut
8 SUPPORT iong workpleces when cuttfng to mlnlmlze the risk of blade
pinching or kickback. The saw may stip, walk or stIde while cutting tong or heavy
boards,
9 NEVER use a length-stop on the free (scrap end) of a cfamped workplsce,
NEVER hold onto or bind the free scrap end of the workplace in any operation
If a work clamp and length stop are used together, THEY MUST BOTH BE
INSTALLED on the SAME SIDE of the saw table to prevent the saw from
catching the ioose end and kicking up
10, NEVER cut more than one piece at a tlmeo DO NOT STACK more than one
workpfece on the worktable at e ttme.
