WARNING
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Unplug power cord from power source before making any adjustments to this tool.
Work Piece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent injury and distraction.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Use a saw table, saw stand or other means to
support the work piece. The Miter Saw must
be mounted in such a way that the surface
is level to the ground, and supports used
must provide a surface on the same level as
the saw table. If the work surface and any
work materials supports are not level, and on
the same level, unwanted bevel angles will
appear in the cuts resulting in poor joinery.
4. Work pieces may be secured to the saw table
using the Hold Down Clamp or other clamping
devices (not included). Securing the work piece
will provide safety by preventing kick back and by
removing the need to hold work pieces near the
blade by hand. Clamping the work piece will also
improve cutting accuracy by preventing the work
piece from moving during the cutting operation.
5. When using this saw, work pieces are often
quite long. Allow room on both left and
right of saw for extended work pieces.
