When using in miter saw mode:
1. Do not use the saw to cut other than wood, aluminum or similar materials.
2. Do not perform operaon freehand when cung workplace in an area close to saw blade. The workpiece must be secured rmly against the turn table and
guide lance during all operaons.
3. Make sure that the turn table is properly secured so it will not move during operaon.
4. Make sure that the arm is securely xed when beveling. Tighten the lever clockwise to lix the arm.
5. Make sure the blade does not contact the turn table in the lowest posion and is not contacng the workpiece before the switch is turned on.
6. Hold the handle rmly. Be aware that the save moves up or down slightly during start-up and slopping.
7. When using in the table saw (bench saw) mode:
8. Do not perform any operaon freehand. Freehand means using your hands to support or guide the workpiece, in lieu of a rip fence.
9. Make sure that the turn table is xed securely.
10. Make sure that the arm is securely xed in the working posion. Tighten the lever Clockwise to x the arm.

12. Make sure the blade is not contacng the riving knife or workpiece before the switch is turned on.
13. Always stare the push-sck when it is not in use.
14. Pay parcular aenon to instrucons for reducing risk of kickback. Kickback is a sudden reacon to a pinched, bound or misaligned saw blade. Kickback
causes the ejecon of the workpiece from the tool back towards the operator. Kickback can lead to serious personal injury. Avoid kickbacks by keeping the
blade sharp, by keeping the rip fence parallel to the blade. by keeping the riving knife and blade guard in place and operang properly, by not releasing the
workpiece unl you have pushed it all the way past the blade, and by not ripping a workplace that is twisted or warped or does not have a straight edge to
guide along the lance.
15. Avoid abrupt fast feeding. Reed as slowly as possible when cung hard workpieces. Do not bend or twist workplace while leading. If you stall or jam the
blade in the workpiece. Turn the tool o immediately. Unplug the tool. Then clear the jam.
16. Before turning over the tool, always make sure that the stopper pin has securely locked the tool head in the lowest posion.
