Additional Safety Rules for Miter Saws



WARNING: 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.

• FOLLOW ALL 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 all 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.

• 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 WEDGE ANYTHING AGAINST THE FAN to hold the motor shaft. Damage to tool and

possible personal injury mayoccur.

• NEVER CUT FERROUS METALS or masonry. Either of these can cause the carbide tips to fly off

the blade at high speeds causing seriousinjury.

• NEVER PLACE HANDS CLOSER THAN 4" (100 mm) FROM THEBLADE.

• NEVER HAVE ANY PART 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 NOT place either hand in the blade area when the saw is connected to the power source.

Inadvertent blade activation may result in seriousinjury.

• NEVER REACH AROUND OR BEHIND THE SAW BLADE. A blade can cause seriousinjury.

• DO NOT REACH UNDERNEATH THE SAW unless it 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 WARPED BLADES. Check to see if the blade runs true and is free from vibration. A

vibrating blade can cause damage to the machine and/or 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.

• KEEP GUARD IN PLACE and in workingorder.

• 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 ONLY BLADE 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.

• NEVER LOCK THE SWITCH IN THE “ON” POSITION. Severe personal injury mayresult.

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

unintentionallycontacted.

• ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of power tools (i.e., a

safety video) is available from the Power Tool Institute, 1300 Sumner Avenue, Cleveland, OH

44115-2851 (www.powertoolinstitute.com). Information is also available from the National

Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, Itasca, IL 60143-3201. Please refer to the American

National Standards Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety Requirements for Woodworking Machines and the

U.S. Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213Regulations.



WARNING: Cutting plastics, sap coated wood, and other materials may cause melted

material to accumulate on the blade tips and the body of the saw blade, increasing the risk

of blade overheating and binding whilecutting.



WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses.

Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED

SAFETYEQUIPMENT:

• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),

• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,

• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratoryprotection.



WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,

birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicalsare:

• lead from lead-based paints,

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treatedlumber.

Your risk from these exposures 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 those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopicparticles.

• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and

other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with

soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote

absorption of harmfulchemicals.



WARNING: Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious

and permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory

protection appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face andbody.



WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI

S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this

product may contribute to hearingloss.

• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewelry or long

hair can be caught in movingparts.

• An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) for

safety. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, that is,

16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage

resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension to make up

the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum wire size. The

following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere

rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The lower the gauge number, the heavier thecord.

Our support team searches for useful product information and answers to frequently asked questions. If you find an inaccuracy in our frequently asked questions, please let us know by using our contact form.

Do I need to wear hearing protection when using a mitre saw? Verified

Yes you should. Although the amount of noise produced by a mitre saw can vary between brands and models, long term exposure to loud noise can cause permanent hearing damage. That is why it is a good idea to wear hearing protection.

Can I store power tools in a shed or garage? Verified

In general, you can store power tools in a shed or garage, even if it sometimes freezes there. However, it is better for the lifespan of the power tool to store it in a dry place without major temperature fluctuations. In a shed or garage, differences in temperature can cause condensation to form, which can cause rust. In addition, tools that run on batteries last shorter and do not charge as well at very low temperatures. To be sure how your power tool needs to be stored, always thoroughly read the user manual.
