ing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
8. Maintain power tools properly. Safely store power tools out of the reach of children. Always keep tools clean and
in good working order. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
9. When servicing, only use identical replacement parts and accessories. Use of any other part can cause damage
to the product
SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE MITER SAW
SAW BLADE SAFETY
1. Always wear protective gloves when handling saw blades.
2. Only use a saw blade suitable for both your miter saw and your workpiece. The maximum permissible speed of
your saw blade should be higher than the maximum rotational speed of the saw.
3. Never use damaged or deformed saw blades. Only use sharp blades.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Operate in a well ventilated area. Keep the floor area around the miter saw level and free of slippery substances
or other tripping hazards.
2. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry (rings, watches, etc.) when operating the miter saw. Inappropriate clothing
and items can get caught in moving parts and draw you in. Always wear non-slip footwear and tie back long hair.
3. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles to protect your eyes from sparks and saw dust and hearing protection to
protect yourself from hearing loss.

5
SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE MITER SAW
4. Use dust masks or other respiratory protection during operation and cleaning. Sawdust is harmful to your health.
5. Keep hands away from cutting area. Never use your hands to remove sawdust, chips or workpiece near the saw
blade or the cutting path of the saw.
6. Always turn off and unplug the miter saw before making any adjustments or repair tasks. Never adjust the miter
saw or the workpiece while the saw is running.
PREPARING THE MITER SAW
1. Securely bolt the miter saw onto a miter saw stand or a workbench before operating.
2. Examine the miter saw for any damaged or missing parts. Replace or repair damaged parts before operation.
Periodically check that all nuts, bolts and other fasteners are properly tightened.
3. Do not use the miter saw unless all guards are in place.
SECURING THE WORKPIECE
1. Always position the workpiece on the miter table and firmly against the fence. Never perform any operation free-
hand. Always use a clamp to support the workpiece whenever possible.
2. When cutting round workpieces, use clamps on both sides of the table to prevent the workpiece from turning.
Position the convex (curved) side against the fence.
3. Always support long workpieces properly using stands or roller tables.
4. Never hand hold a workpiece that is too small to be clamped, as it can be launched away and cause injury. Use
proper support and guides to secure the small workpiece.
DURING CUTTING OPERATION
1. Make sure the path of the saw blade is clear of obstruction. Before turning on the miter saw, do a dry run and
make sure that the saw blade does not touch anything other than the workpiece during its entire line of travel.
2. Always stand to one side when operating the saw. Never have any part of the body in line with the path of the saw.
3. Never perform any operation freehand. Always position the workpiece on the miter table and firmly against the
fence.
4. Do not use the saw to cut metal or masonry.
5. Turn on the miter saw and let it reach full speed, then slowly lower the saw into the workpiece. This will help
produce safer and cleaner cuts. Release the switch and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade
out of the workpiece.
6. During slide cutting, always push the saw blade away from you. Do not pull the saw towards you.
7. Never cut more than one piece at a time. Do not stack workpieces together.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protect-
ing insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
WARNING: The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from a break in the
tool’s internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a product with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and
should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service, we suggest you bring the product to you
nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
licensed electrician.
WARNING: To avoid electrocution, do not use in wet or damp areas or expose to rain.
GUIDELINES FOR USING EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord
or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive
heat and damp/wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected
with a 15A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a
lower voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

BENCH MOUNTING
The saw base has holes in each corner to facilitate bench mounting (FIG-
URE 1).
1. Mount and fix the saw to a level, horizontal bench or worktable using
four bolts (not included).
2. If desired, you can mount the saw to a piece of 1/2˝ or thicker plywood
which can then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job
sites and reclamped.
CAUTION: Make sure that the mounting surface is not warped. Uneven
surfaces can cause binding and inaccurate sawing.
RELEASE KNOB
The release knob is provided for holding the saw arm in place during trans-
portation or storage. The saw must not be used while the release knob is
locking the head down. To release the saw arm, push down on the top of
the saw arm, pull on the release knob (FIGURE 2), rotate it 45° and let go,
then slowly raise the saw arm.
SLIDE LOCK KNOB
When tightened, the slide lock knob (FIGURE 3) prevents the saw head
from sliding along the slide bar. Tighten the slide lock knob during trans-
portation to prevent accidents.
MITER TABLE LOCK
The miter table lock is used to lock the table at the desired miter angle
(FIGURE 4). The miter saw cuts from 0° to 45° both left and right. To
