Any power tool can throw 

foreign objects into the eyes. 

This can result in permanent eye 

damage. Everyday eyeglasses have 

only impact resistant lenses and are not 

safety glasses. Glasses or goggles not 

in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could 

seriously injure you when they break.

●  Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, 

neckties or jewelry (rings, watches). 

They can get caught and draw you 

into moving parts.

●  Wear non-slip footwear.

●  Tie back long hair.

●  Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

●  Noise levels vary widely. To avoid 

possible hearing damage, wear ear 

plugs when using any miter saw.

●  For dusty operations, wear a dust 

mask along with safety goggles.

●   Make sure there are no nails or 

foreign objects in the part of the 

workpiece being cut.

●   Plan your work to avoid small pieces 

that may bind or are too small to 

clamp and hold securely.

●   Plan the way you will grasp the 

workpiece from start to finish. Avoid 

awkward operations and hand 

positions. A sudden slip could cause 

your fingers or hand to move into 

the blade.

Keep good footing and balance. Keep 

your face and body to one side, out of 

the line of a possible kickback. NEVER 

stand in the line of the blade. 

●  Brace your workpiece firmly against 

the fence and table stop so it will 

not rock or twist during the cut.

●  Make sure there is no debris 

between the workpiece and the 

table or fence.

●  Make sure there are no gaps 

between the workpiece, fence and 

table that will let the workpiece shift 

after it is cut.

●  Keep the cut off piece free to 

move sideways after it is cut off. 

Otherwise, it could get wedged 

against the blade and thrown 

violently.

●  Only the workpiece should be on 

the saw table.

●  Secure work. Use clamps or a vice 

to help hold the work when it’s 

practical.

●  Use extra supports (tables, 

sawhorses, blocks, etc.) for 

workpieces large enough to tip.

●  Never use another person as a 

substitute for a table extension, or as 

an additional support for a workpiece 

that is longer or wider than the basic 

miter saw table, or to help feed, 

support, or pull the workpiece.

●  Do not use this saw to cut small 

pieces. If the workpiece being cut 

would cause your hand or fingers to 

be within 7-1/2 in. of the saw blade 

the workpiece is too small. Keep 

hands and fingers out of the “no 

hands zone” area marked on the 

saw table.
