SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES NEVER perform any operation freehand. Always place the workpiece to be cut on the miter table and position it firmly against the fence as a backstop. Always use the fence. Never hand hold a workpiece that is too small to be clamped. Keep hands clear of the cutting area. NEVER reach behind, under, or within three inches of the blade and its cutting path with hands and fingers for any reason. NEVER reach to pick up a workpiece, a piece of scrap, or anything else that is in or near the cutting path of the blade. 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. AVOID AWKWARD OPERATIONS AND HAND POSITIONS where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move into the blade. Always make sure you have good balance. NEVER operate the miter saw on the floor or in a crouched position. NEVER stand or have any part of the body in line with the path of the saw blade. ALWAYS release the power switch and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising it out of the workpiece. Do not turn the motor switch on and off rapidly. This could cause the saw blade to loosen and could create a hazard. Should this ever occur, stand clear and allow the saw blade to come to a complete stop. Disconnect your saw from the power supply and securely retighten the blade bolt. If any part of this miter saw is missing or should break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any electrical component fail to perform properly, shut off the power switch, remove the miter saw plug from the power source and have damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced before resuming operation. Always stay alert! Do not allow familiarity (gained from frequent use of the saw) to cause a careless mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury. IF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD IS DAMAGED, it must be replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized service center to avoid risk. make sure work area has ample lighting to see the work and that no obstructions will interfere with safe operation BEFORE performing any work using the saw. ALWAYS TURN OFF THE SAW before disconnecting it to avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power supply. NEVER leave the saw unattended while connected to a power source. Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece. THIS TOOL should have the following markings: a) Wear eye protection. b) Keep hands out of path of saw blade. c) Do not operate saw without guards in place. d) Do not perform any operation freehand. e) Never reach around saw blade. f) Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before moving workpiece or changing settings. g) Disconnect power (or unplug tool as applicable) before changing blade or servicing. h) No load speed. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE SAW BLADE HAS CLEARANCE OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS BEFORE TURNING THE SAW ON. MAKE SLIDING CUTS by pushing the saw blade down on top of the workpiece then sliding it back toward the rear of the saw. DO NOT pull the saw toward you while making a cut. ALWAYS carry the tool only by the carrying handle. AVOID direct eye exposure when using the laser guide. This saw can tip over if the saw head is released suddenly and the saw is not secured to a work surface. ALWAYS secure this saw to a stable work surface before any use to avoid serious personal injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use to instruct other users.
