SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR MITER
SAWS
1. Miter saws are intended to cut wood or wood-like
products, they cannot be used with abrasive cut-
off wheels for cutting ferrous material such as
bars, rods, studs, etc.
Abrasive dust causes moving parts such as the lower
guard to jam. Sparks from abrasive cutting will burn
the lower guard, the kerf insert and other plastic parts.
2. Use clamps to support the workpiece whenever
possible. If supporting the workpiece by hand,
you must always keep your hand at least 100mm
from either side of the saw blade. Do not use this
saw to cut pieces that are too small to be
securely clamped or held by hand.
If your hand is placed too close to the saw blade,
there is an increased risk of injury from blade contact.
3. The workpiece must be stationary and clamped
or held against both the fence and the table. Do
not feed the workpiece into the blade or cut
"freehand" in any way.
Unrestrained or moving workpieces could be thrown
at high speeds, causing injury.
4. Push the saw through the workpiece. Do not pull
the saw through the workpiece. To make a cut,
raise the saw head and pull it out over the
2023/08/31 19:12:25Stylesheet: NA Version: 2023.7.18
C3612DRA_C99749361_309_NA

5
workpiece without cutting, start the motor, press
the saw head down and push the saw through
the workpiece.
Cutting on the pull stroke is likely to cause the saw
blade to climb on top of the workpiece and violently
throw the blade assembly towards the operator.
5. Never cross your hand over the intended line of
cutting either in front or behind the saw blade.
Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding
the workpiece to the right of the saw blade with your
left hand or vice versa is very dangerous.
6. Do not reach behind the fence with either hand
closer than 100mm from either side of the saw
blade, to remove wood scraps, or for any other
reason while the blade is spinning.
The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand
may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured.
7. Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If the
workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the
outside bowed face toward the fence. Always
make certain that there is no gap between the
workpiece, fence and table along the line of the
cut.
Bent or warped workpieces can twist or shift and may
cause binding on tile spinning saw blade while
cutting. There should be no nails or foreign objects in
the workpiece.
8. Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all
tools, wood scraps, etc., except for the
workpiece.
Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects
that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with
high speed.
9. Cut only one workpiece at a time.
Stacked multiple workpieces cannot be adequately
clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift
during cutting.
10. Ensure the miter saw is mounted or placed on a
level, firm work surface before use.
A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the
miter saw becoming unstable.
11. Plan your work. Every time you change the bevel
or miter angle setting, make sure the adjustable
fence is set correctly to support the workpiece
and will not interfere with the blade or the
guarding system.
Without turning the tool “ON” and with no workpiece
on the table, move the saw blade through a complete
simulated cut to assure there will be no interference
or danger of cutting the fence.
12. Provide adequate support such as table
extensions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that
is wider or longer than the table top.
Workpieces longer or wider than the miter saw table
can tip if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or
workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be thrown
by the spinning blade.
13. Do not use another person as a substitute for a
table extension or as additional support.
Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the
blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the
cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the
spinning blade.
14. The cut-off piece must not be jammed or pressed
by any means against the spinning saw blade.
If confined, i.e. using length stops, the cut-off piece
could get wedged against the blade and thrown
violently.
15. Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to
properly support round material such as rods or
tubing.
Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing
the blade to "bite" and pull the work with your hand
into the blade.
16. Let the blade reach full speed before contacting
the workpiece.
This will reduce the risk of the workpiece being
thrown.
17. If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed, turn
the miter saw off. Wait for all moving parts to
stop and disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack. Then
work to free the jammed material.
Continued sawing with a jammed workpiece could
cause lass of control or damage to the miter saw.
18. After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold
the saw head down and wait for the blade to stop
before removing the cut-off piece.
Reaching with your hand near the coasting blade is
dangerous.
19. Hold the handle firmly when making an
incomplete cut or when releasing the switch
before the saw head is completely in the down
position.
The braking action of the saw may cause the saw
head to be suddenly pulled downward, causing a risk
of injury.
