IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

_ WARNING: Read all instructions before operating product. Failure to follow

Double Insulation

Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical
insulation or one double thickness of insulation between you and the tool's electrical system.
Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is
equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension cords without concern for
maintaining a ground connection.

NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating
this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible

electrical insulation failure within the tool.

,&CAUTION." WHEN SERVICING USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS. Repair or
replace damaged cords.

Polarized Plugs

Polarized plugs (one blade is wider than the other) are used on equipment to reduce the risk of
electric shock. When provided, this plug will fit in the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician
to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Safety Instructions For All Tools

cause personal injury.

Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Poorly maintained tools and
machines can further damage the tool or machine and/or cause injury.

TURN THE MACHINE "OFF" AND DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER

SOURCE before installing or removing accessories, before adjusting or changing set-ups,

when making repairs or changing locations. An accidental start-up can cause injury. Do not

touch the plug's metal prongs when unplugging or plugging in the cord.
REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure that the switch is in the

"OFF" position before plugging in the power cord.

USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. If
your product is equipped with a cordset, use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong
grounding-type plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage

number, the heavier the cord.

Minimum Gauge for Cord Sets

• CHECK for DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that
is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and

perform its intended function-- check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard

or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. Do not use tool if
switch does not turn it on and off.

• USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Use only accessories that are recommended
by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may be

hazardous when used on another tool. Consult the instruction manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.

• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don't leave tool
until it comes to a complete stop. Serious injury can result.

• DO NOT OPERATE ELECTRIC TOOLS NEAR FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR IN GASEOUS
OR EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES. Motors in these tools may spark and ignite fumes.

• STAY ALERT, WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, AND USE COMMON SENSE. DO NOT
USE THE MACHINE WHEN YOU ARE TIRED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF DRUGS

or ALCOHOL. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in injury.

Additional Safety Rules For Miter Saws

AWARNING: Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of your saw) to replace safety
rules. Always remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

• DO NOT OPERATE THIS MACHINE until it is completely assembled and installed according
to the instructions. A machine incorrectly assembled can cause serious injury.

• OBTAIN ADVICE from your supervisor, instructor, or another qualified person if you are not
thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine. Knowledge is safety.

• STABILITY. Make sure the mitersaw is placed on a secure supporting surface and does not
slip or move during use. If the mobility kit is installed, raise the moveable caster(s) so saw is
in its stationary position.

• FOLLOWALL WIRING CODES and recommended electrical connections to prevent shock
or electrocution. Protect electric supply line with at least a 15 ampere time-delay fuse or a

circuit breaker."

• MAKE CERTAIN the blade rotates in the correct direction. The teeth on the blade should
point in the direction of rotation as marked on the saw.

• TIGHTEN ALL CLAMP HANDLES, knobs and levers prior to operation. Loose clamps can
cause parts or the workpiece to be thrown at high speeds.

• BE SURE aft blade and blade clamps are clean, recessed sides of blade clamps are against
blade and arbor screw is tightened securely. Loose or improper blade clamping may result

in damage to the saw and possible personal injury.

• ALWAYS USE A SHARP BLADE. Check the blade to see if it runs true and is free from

vibration. A dull or a vibrating blade can cause damage to the machine and/or serious

injury."

• DO NOT OPERATE ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE DESIGNATED VOLTAGE for the
saw. Overheating, damage to the tool and personal injury may occur.

• DO NOT WEDGEANYTHING AGAINST THE FAN to hold the motor shaft. Damage to tool
and possible personal injury may occur.

• DO NOT force cutting action. Stalling or partial stalling of motor can cause damage. To the
machine or blade and/or serious injury.

• ALLOW THE MOTOR TO COME TO FULL SPEED priorto starting cut. Starting the cut too
soon may cause damage to the machine or blade and/or serious injury."

• NEVER CUT FERROUS METALS (Those with any iron or steel content) or masonry. Either
of these can cause the carbide tips to fly off the blade at high speeds causing serious
injury.

• DO NOT USE ABRASIVE WHEELS. The excessive heat and abrasive particles generated
by them may damage the saw and cause personal injury.

• NEVER have anypart of your body in line with the path of the saw blade. Personal injury will

OCCUr.

• NEVER apply blade lubricant to a running blade. Applying lubricant could cause your hand
to move into the blade resulting in serious injury.

• DO NOTplace either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected to the power source.
Inadvertent blade activation may result in serious injury.

• DO NOT PERFORM FREE-HAND OPERATIONS (workpiece not supported by table and
fence). Hold the work firmly against the fence and table. Free-hand operations on a miter saw
could cause the workpiece to be thrown at high speeds, causing serious injury.

• NEVER REACH AROUND or behind the saw blade. A blade can cause serious injury.

• DO NOT reach underneath the saw unless ff is unplugged and turned off. Contact with saw
blade may cause personal injury.

• SECURE THE MACHINE TO A STABLE SUPPORTING SURFACE. Vibration can possibly
cause the machine to slide, walk, or tip over, causing serious injury.

• USE ONLY CROSSCUT SAW BLADES recommended for miter saws. For best results, do
not use carbide tipped blades with hook angles in excess of 7 degrees. Do not use blades

with deep gullets. These can deflect and contact the guard, and can cause damage to the

machine and/or serious injury.

• USE ONLY BLADES OF THE CORRECT SIZE AND TYPE specified for this tool to prevent
damage to the machine and/or serious injury.

• INSPECT BLADE FOR CRACKS or other damage prior to operation. A cracked or damaged
blade can come apart and pieces can be thrown at high speeds, causing serious injury.
Replace cracked or damaged blades immediately.

• CLEAN THE BLADE AND BLADE CLAMPS prior to operation. Cleaning the blade and
blade clamps allows you to check for any damage to the blade or blade clamps. A cracked
or damaged blade or blade clamp can come apart and pieces can be thrown at high speeds,
causing serious injury.

• DO NOT use lubricants or cleaners (particularly spray or aerosol) in the vicinity of the
plastic guard. The polycarbonate material used in the guard is subject to attack by certain

chemicals.

• ALWAYS USE THE KERF PLATE AND REPLACE THIS PLATE WHEN DAMAGED. Small
chip accumulation under the saw may interfere with the saw blade or may cause instability

of workpiece when cutting.

• USE ONLYBLADE CLAMPS specified for this tool to prevent damage to the machine and/
or serious injury.

• CLEAN THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS of chips and sawdust. Clogged motor air slots can cause
the machine to overheat, damaging the machine and possibly causing a short which could
cause serious injury.

• KEEP ARMS, HANDS, AND FINGERS away from the blade to prevent severe cuts. Clamp
aft workpieces that would cause your hand to be within 6" (152 mm) of the saw blade.

• NEVER LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE "ON" position. Severe personal injury may result.

• TURN OFF THE MACHINE and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before raising
the arm and prior to cleaning the blade area, removing debris in the path of the blade, before

servicing or adjusting tool. A moving blade can cause serious injury.

• PROPERLY SUPPORT LONG OR WIDE WORKPIECES. Loss of control of the workpiece
can cause injury.

• NEVER cross arms in front of blade while using tool. Always make a dry run (unpowered)
before making a finish cut so that you can check the path of the blade or severe personal

injury may result.
