SAFETY RULES
WARNING
For your own safety, read all of the rules and precautions
before operating tool.
WARNING
Always follow proper operating procedures as defined in
this manual even if you are familiar with use of this miter
saw stand or any tool used with this stand. Remember
that being careless for even a fraction of a second can
result in severe personal injury.
You must be familiar with the use of any tool or accessory
used with this miter saw stand. The supplier cannot
be held responsible for any accident, injury or damage
incurred while using this stand with any tool.
WARNING
Some dust created by operation of power tool contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well
ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment.
Always wear OSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face
mask or respirator when using such tools.
CAUTION
Do not modify or use this stand for any application other
than that for which it was designed.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
grounded power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock. If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCl}
protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of
electric shock.
SAFETY FOR WORK STAND
• Do not attempt to assemble or operate your miter saw
stand until you have read the safety instructions in this
section.
• Only use your miter saw stand on a hard, dry and flat
surface.
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times.
• Do not load the miter saw stand with more than 330 Ibs
(150 kg).
• Store properly. Do not store the miter saw stand
outdoors or in a damp location.
• Do not stand or climb on miter saw stand. It could tip
over, causing serious injury.
• Do not permit children to use the miter saw stand
unsupervised. It is not a toy.
• Be sure all locking pins are in the set-up position holes
before using your miter saw and miter saw miter saw
stand.
• Take care when moving the stand, especially when a
miter saw is mounted.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts. Always wear non-slip footwear. Tie
back long hair. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
• Always firmly attach the miter saw used with this stand.
Do not attempt to use the miter saw on the miter saw
stand until the miter saw is fastened firmly.
• Be aware of tipping. When a large piece is cut from one
end of a job, the remaining piece may be heavy enough
to tip the miter saw stand. Always ensure the workpiece
is well supported.
• Always keep all guards in place. Be sure all power tool
guards are in good working order and are in proper
adjustment and alignment.
• Always keep your hands away from the cutting area.
CAUTION
Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator common
sense and alertness at all times when tool is being used.
WARNING
Do not attempt to operate tool until it is completely
assembled according to the instructions.
