Grounding Instructions
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION
READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
110-120 V~ Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs
Outlets for 2-Prong Plug
1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, double
insulated equipment 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 plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the
120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration.
(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
Miter Saw Safety Warnings
For Your Own Safety Read Instruction
Manual Before Operating Miter Saw
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Keep hands out of path of saw blade.
3. Do not operate saw without guards in place.
4. Do not perform any operation freehand.
5. Never reach around saw blade.
6. Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before
moving workpiece or changing settings.
7. Disconnect power before changing blade or servicing.
8. To reduce risk of injury, return carriage to the full
rear position after each crosscut operation.
9. Return all guards to original position if any are
moved during blade replacement. Check all
guards for proper operation after service.
10. The lock down pin is to be used only to lock
the head in place for carrying and storage.
It is not to be used for any cutting operation.
11. DANGER! Coasting Cutting Tool Can Be
Dangerous – Apply brake immediately to stop
cutting tool when the switch is turned off.
12. The torque developed during braking may
loosen the blade-retaining nut/bolt. The blade
retaining nut/bolt should be checked periodically
and tightened if necessary, especially after braking.
13. Always use blades with correct size and shape
(diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Blades that
do not match the mounting hardware of the saw
will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.
14. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers
or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were
specially designed for your saw, for optimum
performance and safety of operation.
15. Do not use to cut logs, tree limbs, or uneven lumber.
16. Wet lumber, green (unseasoned) lumber, and
pressure treated lumber all have an increased
potential for kickback and should only be cut with a
blade for cutting that lumber type. Wear a NIOSH-
approved respirator and have appropriate ventilation
whenever cutting pressure treated lumber.
17. Do not use blades made from high-speed steel,
abrasive blades, metal-cutting blades or masonry-
cutting blades. The guards of this saw are not
designed to protect against the failure of such blades.
18. Blades must be rated to at least the
maximum speed marked on the tool.
19. DO NOT OPERATE WITH ANY GUARD DISABLED,
DAMAGED, OR REMOVED. Moving guards
must move freely and close instantly.
20. The use of accessories or attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer may
result in a risk of injury to persons.
21. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
