■ NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNAT-
TENDED. REMOVE BATTERY PACK. Do not
leave tool, move workpiece or make adjustments
until it comes to a complete stop.
■ FIRMLY CLAMP OR BOLT your miter saw to a
workbench or table at approximately hip height.
■ USE ONLY CORRECT BLADES. Do not use
blades with incorrect size holes. Never use blade
washers or blade bolts that are defective or
incorrect. The maximum blade capacity of your
saw is 8-1/4 in. (209.6 mm).
■ KEEP BLADES CLEAN, SHARP AND WITH
SUFFICIENT SET. Sharp blades minimize
stalling and kickback.
■ DO NOT REMOVE THE SAW'S BLADE
GUARDS. Never operate the saw with any guard
or cover removed. Make sure all guards are
operating properly before each use.
■ KEEP HANDS AWAY FROM CUTTING AREA.
Keep hands away from blades. Do not reach
underneath work or around or under the blade
while blade is rotating. Do not attempt to remove
cut material when blade is moving.
■ BLADE COASTS AFTER TURN OFF.
■ DO NOT ABUSE CHARGER CORD. Never yank
cord to disconnect it from receptacle. Keep cord
from heat, oil, and sharp edges.
■ INSPECT CHARGER CORD PERIODICALLY
and if damaged, have repaired at your nearest
authorized service center.
■ DO NOT USE TOOL IF SWITCH DOES NOT
TURN IT ON AND OFF. Have defective switches
replaced by an authorized service center.
■ KEEP TOOL DRY, CLEAN, AND FREE FROM
OIL AND GREASE. Always use a clean cloth
when cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, or any solvents to
clean tool.
■ ALWAYS SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES to
minimize risk of blade pinching and kickback.
Saw may slip, walk, or slide while cutting long or
heavy boards.
■ BEFORE MAKING A CUT, BE SURE ALL
ADJUSTMENTS ARE SECURE.
■ AVOID CUTTING NAILS. Inspect for and
remove all nails from lumber before cutting.
■ ALWAYS USE A CLAMP to secure the work-
piece when possible.
■ NEVER TOUCH BLADE or other moving parts
during use.
■ NEVER START A TOOL WHEN THE BLADE IS
IN CONTACT WITH WORKPIECE. Allow motor
to come up to full speed before starting cut.
■ MAKE SURE THE MITER TABLE AND SAW
ARM (BEVEL FUNCTION) ARE LOCKED IN
POSITION BEFORE OPERATING YOUR SAW.
Lock the miter table by securely tightening the
miter lock handle. Lock the saw arm (bevel
function) by securely tightening the bevel lock
knob.
■ NEVER USE A LENGTH STOP ON THE FREE
SCRAP END OF A CLAMPED WORKPIECE.
NEVER hold onto or bind the free scrap end of
the workpiece in any operation. If a work clamp
and length stop are used together, they must
both be installed on the same side of the saw
table to prevent the saw from catching the loose
end and kicking up.
■ NEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO
NOT STACK more than one workpiece on the
saw table at a time.
■ NEVER PERFORM ANY OPERATION "FREE-
HAND". Always place the workpiece to be cut on
the miter table and position it firmly against and
parallel to the fence as a backstop. Always use
the fence.
■ NEVER hand hold a workpiece that is too small
to be clamped. Keep hands clear of the no hands
zone.
■ NEVER reach behind, under, or within three
inches (76 mm) of the blade and its cutting path
with your hands and fingers for any reason.
■ NEVER reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of
scrap, or anything else that is in or near the
cutting path of the blade.
■ AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND
POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause
your hand to move into the blade. ALWAYS
make sure you have good balance. NEVER
operate your miter saw on the floor or in a
crouched position.
■ NEVER stand or have any part of your body in
line with the path of the saw blade.
■ ALWAYS release the power switch and allow the
saw blade to stop rotating before raising it out of
the workpiece.
■ DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR SWITCH ON AND
OFF RAPIDLY. This could cause the saw blade
to loosen and could create a hazard. Should this
ever occur, stand clear and allow the saw blade
to come to a complete stop. Disconnect your saw
from the power supply and securely retighten the
blade bolt.
