							IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
People with electronic devices, such as pacemakers, should consult their
physician(s) before using this product. Operation of electrical equipment in
close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of
the pacemaker.
WARNING:Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints. 
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,
and arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING: Handling the power cord on corded products may expose you to
lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling.
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit.Cluttered work benches and dark work
areas may cause accidents or injury.
Do not operate power tools in explosive areas, such as in the presence of 
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite
the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user.

							Keep bystanders, children, and visitors at a safe distance from the Miter Saw
while it is in operation.Distractions can cause inadvertent misuse 
resulting in possible injury to the bystanders or to the operator.
Wear proper apparel.Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings,
bracelets, or other apparel that could possibly become caught in the moving
parts of the Miter Saw. When working in a shop environment around power
tools, wear nonslip footwear. Use protective hair covering to contain long hair.
Keep the work area clean at all times.Cluttered areas around the Miter Saw
can cause unexpected accidents if the debris comes in contact with the moving
parts of the Miter Saw.
Maintain a proper work environment.Do not operate the Miter Saw in damp
or wet locations or expose it to rain. Water can cause the electrical 
components to malfunction resulting in damage to the Miter Saw and/or 
serious injury or death to the operator.
Don’t force the tool.The Miter Saw will do a better job and be safer if cutting
operations are performed at the proper speeds as expressed in this manual. 
Wear all necessary protective gear, including goggles, ear plugs and a dust
mask.
Keep hands out of the path of the saw blade.
DO NOT operate saw without guards in place.
Do not stand directly in front of the Miter Saw. Loose fragments could fly off
at high speeds possibly causing injury.
Properly support extra-long or extra-wide workpieces.Workpieces that are
too long or too wide can tip and cause the blade to seize resulting in a sudden
kickback motion resulting in damage to the workpiece and Miter Saw as well as
possible severe injury to the operator.
Do not perform any operation freehand.The workpiece must be tight against the
fence to prevent the piece from moving while it is being cut. Keep the area between
the saw and the workpiece free of debris. Clamp the workpiece if necessary.
NEVER reach around the blade.
Turn tool off and wait for saw blade to stop before moving workpiece or
changing settings.
Use 10 blades only. NEVERuse blades above or below the rated blade diam-
eter. NEVERuse blades recommended for operation at less than 4800 RPM.

Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool
“live” and shock the operator.
IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES FOR MITER SAWS
Avoid prolonged contact with dust created by the Miter Saw. Allowing the
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on your skin promotes the absorption
of harmful chemicals into your body.
Read and understand all instructions.Failure to follow all instructions listed in
this manual may result in property damage, damage to the tool, or serious per-
sonal injury or even death.
Unpack the Miter Saw completely from its carton.Inspect the saw and acces-
sories and ensure they are free from defects or breakage due to shipping.
Do not operate this Miter Saw until it is completely assembled according to
the instructions in this manual.Failure to adhere to these instructions could
result in serious and/or permanent injury to the operator. 
Make sure approved eye protection is being worn and properly adjusted and
secured at all times the Miter Saw is in use.Everyday eyeglasses only have
impact-resistant lenses and ARE NOTsafety glasses. Safety glasses must 
conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements. Approved safety glasses and goggles will
have Z87 printed or stamped on them.
Follow all wiring codes.Use only properly grounded three-hole grounded
receptacles. DO NOTcut the third prong off the power cord. When using an
extension cord, use only UL Listed extension cords with minimum 16 AWG
wiring and a maximum length of 25 feet.  
						

							NEVER allow bystanders behind the saw or close enough to the workpiece to
be hit by flying debris.
Round material such as dowel rods or tubing may roll when cut.Clamp
securely before cutting.
Check that the workpiece is free of nails or other foreign objects.
Make sure ventilation slots are clear of dust or debris.
Mount the saw to a work bench or table before use to prevent unexpected
saw movement.If the saw moves during use, it could cause injury to the oper-
ator and/or damage to the workpiece.
NEVER lubricate the blade while it is in motion.
Before moving the saw, make sure the cord is unplugged and the handle is
locked in the down position.To avoid back injury, do not attempt to lift the saw
by yourself. 
Give the saw a test run before cutting.If the tool vibrates excessively or makes
unusual noises, stop operating the saw immediately and correct the problem.
Make sure the blade is loaded correctly.The arrow on the blade should point
in the same direction as the arrow on the upper blade cover. Blade teeth should
point downward.
Never hold or clamp the waste portion of the material.Cutoff pieces must be
free to move aside or they may wedge against the blade and cause injury to the
operator or damage to the workpiece.
If the blade becomes clogged with debris, release the trigger switch and let
the blade come to a complete stop before unplugging the tool and removing
the debris.
After finishing a cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come
to a complete stop before raising the handle.
Make sure the blade is up to speed before lowering it into the workpiece.
Do not use this compound miter saw for cutting ferrous metals or steel. 
Cutting non-ferrous metals can be dangerous. Follow all 
Safety instructions carefully.
Use only blades specifically made for cutting non-ferrous metal. 
Non-ferrous metals should be cut only under the supervision of an experi-
enced person.
9
Release lower guard retraction mechanism after each cut and before 
moving or removing the workpiece.
Always keep arms, hands, and fingers away from the workpiece while it is
on the table and the Miter Saw is turned on. Severe injury could result.
Always clamp the workpiece firmly against the work table.Never attempt 
to hold the workpiece by hand. The blade can seize in the workpiece causing it
to spin rapidly. This will cause loss of control of the workpiece resulting in
severe injuries or damage to the workpiece and Miter Saw. 
DO NOT cut materials that could shatter or grab the blade.
Make sure the blade is loaded correctly.The arrow on the blade should point
in the same direction as the arrow on the upper blade cover. Blade teeth should
point downward.
Reduce the risk of unintentional starting.Ensure the “ON/OFF”switch is set
to the “OFF”position before plugging the power cord into the AC outlet.
NEVER use a dull blade.Keep blade sharp and free from dents or damage.
Make sure the blade is properly aligned. Unplug the cord and use your hand to
spin the blade. The blade should spin smoothly without making contact with any
other part of the saw. If there is contact, realign the blade before using the saw.
Make sure the blade and blade guards are free from debris.
Make sure the blade guards are properly installed.
Check all screws and fastenings before use. Make sure the blade screw is
tight and secure.
Cut only one piece of material at a time. Leave enough room for the waste
piece to move once it is cut or it may become wedged against the blade and cre-
ate a hazard.
Be extremely careful when cutting pieces that are very large, very small or
oddly shaped.Make sure all oddly shaped pieces are held securely so they can-
not slip or cause kickback. Moulding should be clamped down flat before cut-
ting.
DO NOT let the workpiece sag or bend.If necessary, use tables or sawhorses
to support the piece while cutting.
NEVER let your fingers get closer than 4 to the blade.You cannot cut any
workpiece that requires you to get your hand closer than 4 to the blade.

Any contact with the eyes by the beam could
cause injury. Ensure the laser beam is turned on only when the tool is on a non-
reflective workpiece and as such it is aimed only at the work surface. Metals and
other materials like steel which can be highly reflective should only be cut with-
out the use of the laser.
