● 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.
INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE
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 that are too small to
clamp and get a solid grasp on. 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.
DO NOT OVER-REACH
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.
Never cut freehand:
● 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 saws table.
● Secure work. Use clamps or a vise
to help hold the work when it’s
practical.
USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH LARGE
OR ODD SHAPED WORKPIECES.
● 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 8-3/4 inches of the saw
blade the workpiece is too small.
Keep hands and fingers out of the
“no hands zone” area marked on
the saws table.
● When cutting odd shaped
workpieces, plan your work so
it will not bind in the blade and
cause possible injury. Molding, for
example, must lie flat or be held
by a fixture or jig that will not let it
move when cut.
● Properly support round material
such as dowel rods, or tubing,
which have a tendency to roll when
cut, causing the blade to “bite”.
To avoid injury, follow all applicable
safety instructions, when cutting
non-ferrous metals:
● Use only saw blades specifically
recommended for non-ferrous
metal cutting.
