2. Read and understand the warnings po sted on the machine and i n this manual. Failure to comply with all of these warnings m ay cause seriou s i njury.

3. Replace the warning labels if they become obscured or remov ed.

4. This saw is designed and int ended for use by properly trained and ex per ienced personnel onl y . If y ou are not familiar with the proper and safe operati on of a com pound mi ter saw, do not use until proper training and knowledge have been obtained.

5. Do not use this saw for other than it s i ntended use. If used for other purposes, JET disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless f r om any injury that m ay result from that use.

6. Always wear approved safety glasses/f ac e shi elds whil e usi ng this miter saw. Every day ey eglasses only have impact resi stant lenses; they are not saf ety glasses.

8. Wear ear protector s (plugs or muffs) during ext ended peri ods of oper ation.

9. Some dust created by power sanding, sa wing, grindi ng, drilling and other construc tion activities contain chemi c als known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemic als are:

• Lead from lead based paint.

• Crystalli ne sil ic a from bricks, cement and other m asonry pr oduc ts.

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lum ber .

Your risk of exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your

exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as face or dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Compound Mit e r Saw Safety

Specific safety instructions for this compound miter saw:

1. Do not operate the miter saw until it is completely assembled and installed according to these instructions.

2. If you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of miter saws, seek guidance from your supervisor, instructor or other qualified person.

3. Always hold the work firmly against the fence and t able.

4. Do not perform any operat ion free hand (use clamp wherev er possible).

5. Keep hands out of the path of the saw blade. If the workpiece you are cutting would cause your hands to be within 8-3/4 in. of the saw blade, the workpiece should be clamped in place before making the cut.

6. Be sure the blade is sharp, runs f r eely and is free of vibration.

7. Allow the motor to com e up to full speed before starting a cut.

8. Keep the motor air slot s clean and free of chips or dust.

9. Always mak e sure all handl es are tight before cutti ng, even if the table is posit ioned in one of the positive stops.

10. B e sure both the blade and the coll ar are clean and the arbor bolt is tightened securely.

11. Use onl y blade collars specified for your saw.

12. Never use blades larger in diam eter than 10 inches.

13. Never apply lubricants to the blade when it is running.

14. A lways check the blade for crack s or damage before operation. Replace a crac k ed or dam aged blade immediately.

15. Never use blades recommended for operation at less than 4200 RPM.

16. A lways keep the blade guards in place and use at all times.

17. Never reach around the saw blade.

18. M ak e sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece bef or e the switc h is tur ned ON.

19. Impor tant : Aft er com pleting t he cut , rel ease the t ri gger and wait for the bl ade to stop before ret urni ng the saw to the raised position.

20. Make sure the blade has come to a complete stop before removing or securing the workpiece, changing the workpi ec e angle or changing the angle of the blade.

21. Nev er cut metal s or masonry product s wit h thi s tool . Thi s mit er saw is designed for use on wood and wood-lik e pr oduc ts.

22. Never cut small pieces. If the workpiec e being cut would cause your hand or fingers to be within 8- 3/4 in. of the saw blade the workpiece is too small.

23. P r ovide adequate support t o the sides of the saw table for long work pieces.

24. Never use the miter saw in an area with flammable liquids or gases.

25. Never use solvents to c lean p lastic pa rts. S o lvents cou ld po s s ibly dissolve o r o therw ise da mage the mater ial.

Electrical

Extens ion Cords

Power Supply and Motor Specifications

The AC motor used in this saw is a universal, nonreversible type (see Motor in the Specifica- tions section on page 7).

To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards, or damage to the machine, use proper circuit protection. Your saw is wired at the facto ry for 120V operati on. Conn ect to a 120V, 15 Amp circui t and use a 15 amp time delay fuse o r circu it breaker. If power co rd is worn or cut, or damaged in any way, have i t replaced immediately to avoid shock or fire.

Electrical Requirements

This machine is double insulated to provide a double thickness of insulation between the user and the machine's electrical system. A ll exposed metal part s are isolated f rom the internal metal motor component s with pr otective insulati on.

This saw has a plug that looks like the one shown in Figure A.

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your machine will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in the line voltage resulting in power loss and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to use depending on the cord length and nameplate ampere rati ng. If in doubt, use the next heavi er gauge. Remember, the smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Cord Length AWG 00 – 25ft 016 25 – 50ft 014

Important: Make certain the receptacle in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a registered electrician check the receptacle.

Figure A

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this saw has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way; if the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the pl ug. If it still does not fit , contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug i n any way.

Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool.

To avoid electroc ution:

1. Use only identical replacement parts when

servicing a tool with double insulation. Servicing shoul d be per formed by a qualified technician.

2. Do not use power tools in wet or damp

locations or expose them to rain or snow.
