Craftsman 137.21239 Saw User Manual


 
31
Do not use this saw to cut small
pieces. If the workpiece being cut
would cause your hand or fi ngers
to be within 8-3/4 inches of the saw
blade the workpiece is too small.
Keep hands and fi ngers 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 fl at or be held by a fi xture 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 specifi cally
recommended for non-ferrous metal
cutting.
Do not cut metal workpieces
that must be hand held. Clamp
workpieces securely.
Cut non-ferrous metals only if you
are under the supervision of an
experienced person and the dust
bag has been removed from the
saw.
WARNING
!
OPERATION
WHEN SAW IS RUNNING
Do not allow familiarity from
frequent use of your miter saw
to result in a careless mistake. A
careless fraction of a second is
enough to cause a severe injury.
Before cutting, if the saw makes an
unfamiliar noise or vibrates, stop
immediately. Turn the saw OFF.
Unplug the saw. Do not restart until
nding and correcting the problem.
