OPERATION WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury. WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten the miter lock knob and the bevel lock knob before making a cut. Failure to do so could result in movement of the control arm or miter table while making a cut. WARNING: Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury. WARNING: Do not use any attachments or accessories not recommended by the manufacturer of this tool. The use of attachments or accessories not recommended can result in serious personal injury.

Cross cutting miters, joints, etc. for picture frames mold- ings, door casings, and fine joinery Bevel cutting and compound cutting of lumber and moldings. NOTE: The blade provided is fine for most wood cutting operations, but for fine joinery cuts or cutting plastic, use one of the accessory blades available from the dealer. WARNING: Before starting any cutting operation, clamp or bolt the compound miter saw to a workbench or an approved workstand. Never operate the miter saw on the floor or in a crouched position. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury. WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, keep hands outside the no hands zone, at least 4 in. (100 mm) from the blade. Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists. NOTICE: Do not start the compound miter saw without checking for interference between the blade, the partial sliding miter fence, and the miter fence. Damage could result to the blade if it strikes the miter fence during operation of the saw. CUTTING WITH YOUR COMPOUND MITER SAW WARNING: When using a work clamp or C-clamp to secure your workpiece, clamp workpiece on one side of the blade only. The workpiece must remain free on one side of the blade to prevent the blade from binding in workpiece. The workpiece binding the blade will cause motor stalling and kickback. This situation could cause an accident resulting in possible serious personal injury. WARNING: NEVER move the workpiece or make adjustment to any cutting angle while the saw is running and the blade is rotating. Any slip can result in contact with the blade causing serious personal injury. 21 - English
