18. NEVER recut small pieces.
19. PROVIDE ADEQUATESUPPORT to the sides of the saw t able for long workpieces.
20. NEVER use the miter saw in an area with flammable liquids or gases.
21. NEVER USE SOLVENTS TO CLEAN PLASTIC PARTS. Solvents could possibly dissolve or otherwise
damage the material. Only a soft, damp cloth should be used to clean plastic parts.
22. DISCONNECT SAW from power source and clean the machine before leaving it.
23. MAKE SURE the work area is cleaned before leaving the machine.
24. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION regarding the safe and proper operation of this product is available from the
National Safety Council, 1121 Spring Lake Drive, It asca, IL 60143-3201, in the Accident Prevention Manual for
Industrial Operation and also in the Safety Data Sheets provided by the NSC. Please also refer to the American
National Standard Institute ANSI 01.1 Safety Requirements for the Woodworking Machinery and the U.S.
Department of Labor OSHA 1910.213 Regulations.
25. SOME WOOD CONTAINS PRESERVATIVES WHICH CAN BE TOXIC. Take extra care to prevent inhalation
and skin contact when working with these materials. Request, and follow, any safety information available from
your material supplier.
26. DON T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from
heat, oil, and sharp edges. Have damaged or worn power cord and strain reliever replaced immediately. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO REPAIR POWER CORD.
27. WEAR EAR PROTECTION to safeguard against possible hearing loss.
28. AVOID CUTTING NAILS AND KNOTS. Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before cutting. Try to do
layout cut s between knots.
29. NEVER USE LIQUID COOLANT.To do so could present electrical shock hazard.
30. KEEPCLEAR OF SAWDUST EJECTION CHUTE. Sawdust and chips are expelled out the ejection chute at
rear of saw. Do not allow anyone in this area while saw is in operation.
31. W ARNING:Slide cutting by PULLING the saw towards the operator can be dangerous, causing the saw to
kick upwards and towards the operator. Always PUSH the saw forward, away from the operator, and towards the
fence when slide cutting.
32. WHEN USING THE SAW AS A MITER AND MAKING CHOP CUTS, MAKE SURE the saw sliding mechanism
is locked in place to prevent the saw from kicking towards the operator.
33. WHEN THE MITER SAW IS NOT IN USE, the switch should be locked in the OFF position to prevent
unauthorized use of the saw.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
MOTOR
Many Porter-Cable tools will operate on either D.C., or single phase 25 to 60 cycle A.C. current and voltage
within plus or minus 5 percent of that shown on the specification plate of the tool. Several models, however, are
designed for A.C. current only. Refer to the specification plate on your tool for proper volt age and current rating.
CAUTION: Do not operate your tool on a current on which the volt age is not within correct limits. Do not
operate tools rated A.C. only on D.C. current. To do so may seriously damage the tool.
EXTENSION CORD SELECTION
If an extension cord is used, make
sure the conductor size is large
enough to prevent excessive voltage
drop which will cause loss of power
and possible motor damage. A table of
recommended extension cord sizes
will be found in this section. This t able
is based on limiting line volt age drop to
5 volt s (10 volt s for 230 volt s) at 150%
of rated amperes.
If an extension cord is to be used
outdoors it must be marked with the
suf fix W -A following the cord type
designation. For example SJTW-A to
indicate it is accept able for out door
use.
