incorrect connections, overload, low voltage or

inadequate power supply widng, Always check the

connections, the load and supply circuit ifthe motor

doesn't run well. Check minimum gauge for the lenglh

of cord you are using on the chad below,

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION CORDS

Use aproper extension cord. Make sure your

exlension cord is in good condition. When using an

ex'lension 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, resulling in loss of

power and cause overheating. The table below shows

the correct size to use depending on cord length and

nameplate ampere rating. II in doubt, use the nexl

heavier gauge The smaller lhe gauge number, the

heavier the cord.

Be sure your extension cord is property wired and in

good condition. Always replace a damaged extension

cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before

workpiece shift after ff is cut.

Keep the cut off piece free to move sideways after

it is cut ell Otherwise, it could get wedged

against the blade and thrown vioIenw,

Only lhe workplace should be on the saw's table,

Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to help hold

the work when it's practical.

USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH LARGE OR ODD

SHAPED WORKPIECES.

Use extra supports (tables, sawhorses, blocks,

etc,) for workpieces large enough to tip°

Never use another person as a substitute for a

table extension, or as an addilJonal support for a

workplace that is longer or wider than the basic

miter saw table, or to heJp feed, support, or pull

the workplace.

Do not use this saw to cut small pieces, It the

workplace being cut would cause your hand or

fingers to be within 7-tt4" inches of the saw blade

workpiece is too small Keep hands and fingers

out of the =no hands zone" area marked on the

saws table.

When cutting odd shaped wolf{pieces, plan your

work so it will not bind in the blade and cause

._ossible injury. Molding, for example, must lie flat

or be held by a fixture or jig that will not let it move

when cut.

Properly support round material such as dowel

rods. or tubing, which have a tendency to roll

when cut, causing the blade to "bite".

INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE

Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the

part of the workpiece being cut.

Plan your work to avoid small pieces that may bind,

or that are too small to clamp and get a solid grasp

on.

Plan the way you wilt grasp the workpiece from start to

finish. Avotd awkward operations and hand positions,

Asudden slip could cause your fingers or hand to

move into the blade.

To avoid injury, follow all applicable safety instructions,

when cutting non-ferrous metafs:

eUse only saw blades specifically recommended

for non-ferrous metal cutting.

e Do no! cut metal workpieces that must be hand

held. Clamp workpieces securely.

• Cut nonferrous metals only if you are under the

supervision of an experienced person.
