assure there will be no interference or danger of
cutting the fence.
12. Provide adequate support such as table exten-
sions, saw horses, etc. for a workpiece that is
wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces
longer or wider than the mitre 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.
cut-off piece could get wedged against the blade
and thrown violently.

unintentionally contacted.
3. Never leave the tool running unattended. Turn
the power off. Do not leave tool until it comes
to a complete stop.
4. Do not operate saw without guards in place.
Check blade guard for proper closing before
each use. Do not operate saw if blade guard
does not move freely and close instantly.
Never clamp or tie the blade guard into the
open position.
5. Keep hands out of path of saw blade. Avoid
contact with any coasting blade. It can still
cause severe injury.

8. Stopper pin which locks the cutter head down
is for carrying and storage purposes only and
not for any cutting operations.
9. Check the blade carefully for cracks or dam-
age before operation. Replace cracked or dam-
aged blade immediately. Gum and wood pitch
hardened on blades slows saw and increases
potential for kickback. Keep blade clean by
gum and pitch remover, hot water or kerosene.
Never use gasoline to clean blade.
