DO NOT USE THIN KERF BLADES they 

can deflect and contact guard and can cause 

possible injury to the operator.

 2.  DO NOT operate the miter saw until it 

is completely assembled and installed 

according to these instructions.

3. 

IF YOU ARE NOT thoroughly familiar with 

the operation of miter saws, seek guidance 

from your supervisor, instructor or other 

qualified person.

4. 

ALWAYS hold the work firmly against the 

fence and table. 

DO NOT perform any 

operation free hand (use clamp wherever 

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 6-3/4 in. of the 

saw blade, the workpiece should be clamped 

in place before making the cut.

6. 

BE SURE the blade is sharp, runs freely and 

is free of vibration.

7. 

ALLOW the motor to come up to full speed 

before starting a cut.

8. 

KEEP THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS CLEAN 

and free of chips or dust.

9. 

ALWAYS MAKE SURE all handles are tight 

before cutting, even if the table is positioned 

in one of the positive stops.

10. 

BE SURE both the blade and the collar are 

clean and the arbor bolt is tightened securely.

complete stop before removing or securing 

the workpiece, changing the workpiece angle 

or changing the angle of the blade.

21.

this tool. This miter saw is designed for use 

on wood and wood-like products.
