GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR
BREAKDOWN, grounding provides apath of
least resistance for electric currents and reduces
the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped
with an electrical cord that has an equipment-
grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The
plug must be plugged into amatching receptacle
that is properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED.
If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician,
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment
groundingconductorcan resultin riskof electric
shock. The conductorwiththe greeninsulation
(with or withoutyellowstripes)is the equipment
NOTE: When using an extension cord on a
circuit with a #14 wire, the extension cord must
not exceed 25 feet in length. 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. This tool is intended for
use on a circuit that has a receptacle like the one
illustrated in Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 shows a three-pronged electrical plug and
receptacle that has agrounding conductor. If a
properly grounded receptacle is not available,
an adapter (Fig. 2) can be used to temporarily
connect this plug to a two-contact grounded
receptacle. The adapter (Fig. 2) has a rigid lug
extending from it that MUST be connected to
apermanent earth ground, such as aproperly

GUIDELINES FOR EXTENSION
CORDS
USE THE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extensioncord is in good condition.
Use an extensioncordheavy enoughto carry
the currentyour productwilldraw. An undersized
cordwill cause a dropin line voltage resulting
in loss of power, overheating and burningout
of the motor.The table on the rightshows the
correct size to use dependingon cordlength
and nameplate ampere rating.If in doubt,use
the next heaviergauge. The smallerthe gauge
number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cordis properly
wiredand in goodcondition.Always replace a
damaged extensioncord orhave it repaired bya
qualifiedtechnician beforeusing it. Protectyour
extensioncordsfrom sharpobjects, excessive
heat and damp or wet areas.

PLAN YOUR WORK
• Use the right tool. Don't force a tool or
attachment to do a job it was not designed
to do. Use adifferenttool for any workpiece
that can't be held in a solidly braced, fixed
position.
LACAUTIONI
This machine is not designed for cutting
masonry, masonry products, ferrous metals
(steel, iron, and iron-based metals.) Use
this miter sew to cut only wood, wood-
like products, or non-ferrous metals. Other
material may shatter, bind the blade, or create
other dangers. Remove all nails that may be
in the workpieee to prevent sparking that
could cause a fire, Remove dust bag when
cutting non-ferrous metals.
DRESS FOR SAFETY
Any power tool can throw foreign
objects into the eyes. This can resultin
permanent eye damage. Everyday
eyeglasseshave onlyimpact resistantlenses and
are not safety glasses. Glasses or goggles not
incompliancewith ANSI Z87.1 could seriously
injureyouwhen they break.
•Do notwear loose clothing,gloves, neckties
orjewelry (rings,watches). They can get
caughtand draw you into movingparts.
• Wear non-slipfootwear.
•Tie back long hair.
•Roll longsleeves above the elbow.
•Noise levelsvary widely. To avoid possible
hearingdamage wear ear plugs when using
any mitersaw.
•For dustyoperations, weara dust mask along
withsafety goggles.
INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE
Make sure there are no nailsor foreign objects in
the partof the workpiece beingcut.
Plan yourwork to avoid small pieces that may
bind,or that are too small to clamp and get a
solidgrasp on.
Plan the way you willgraspthe workpiecefrom
startto finish. Avoidawkward operationsand
hand positions.A sudden slip could cause your
fingers or hand to move into the blade.
DO NOT OVER-REACH
Keep good footing and balance. Keep your face
and body to one side, out of the line of a possible
kickback. NEVER stand in the line of the blade.
Never cut freehand:
•Braceyour workpiecefirmlyagainst the fence
and table stopso it willnot rock ortwistduring
the cut.
•Make sure there is no debris betweenthe
workplaceand the tableor fence.
!
•Make sure there are no gaps between the
workpiece,fence and table that willlet the
workplaceshift after it is cut.
•Keep the cut off piece free to move sideways
after it is cut off. Otherwise, it could get
wedged against the blade and thrown
violently.
•Only the workpiece should be on the saw
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 additional support
for a workpiece that is longer or wider than
the basic miter saw table, or to help feed,
support, or pull the workpiece.
• Do not use this saw to cut smallpieces. If the
workpiece being cut would cause your hand
or fingers to be within 6-3/4 inchesof the saw
blade the workpiece is too small. Keep hands
and fingers out of the "no hands zone" area
marked on the saw table.
•When cuttingodd shaped workpieces,plan
your work so it will not bind in the blade and
cause possible 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".
1_, WARNING ]
To avoid injury, follow all applicable safety
instructions, when cutting non-ferrous
metals:
•Use only saw blades specifically
recommended for non-ferrous metalcutting.
• Do not cut metal workpiecesthat must be
hand held. Clamp workpieces securely.
• Cut non-ferrous metals only if you are under
the supervision of an experienced person and
the dust bag has been removed from the saw.
WHEN SAW IS RUNNING
J_ WARNING
Do not allow familiarity from frequent use of
your miter sew to result in a careless mistake.
A careless fraction of a second is enough to
cause a severe injury.
Before cutting, if the saw makes an unfamiliar
noise or vibrates, stop immediately. Turn the
sew OFF. Unplug the sew. Do not restart until
finding and correcting the problem.
BODY AND HAND POSITION (FIG. S)
WARNING I
Never place hands near the cutting
area. Proper positioning of your body
and hands when operating the miter
saw will make cutting easier and
safer. Keep children away. Keep all visitors
at a safe distance from the miter saw. Make
sure bystanders are clear of the saw and
workpiece, Don't force the saw. It will do the
job better and safer at its designed rate.
Starting a cut:
• Place hands at least 6-3/4 in. away from the
path of the blade - out of the "no-hands zone"
(1). (Fig. S)
•Hold workpiece firmly against the fence to
prevent movement toward the blade.
•With the power switch OFF, bring the saw
blade down to the workpiece to see the
cutting path of the blade.
• Press in lock-off switch in trigger switch
handle,
•Squeeze trigger switch to start saw.
•Lower blade into workpiece with a firm
downward motion.
Finishing a cut:
•Hold the cutting arm in the clown position.
•Release trigger switch and wait for all moving
parts to stop before moving your hands and
raising the cutting arm.
•If the blade doesn't stop within 6 seconds,
unplug the saw and follow the instructions in
