READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY

GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR ALL POWER TOOLS

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all in-

structions listed below may result in electric shock, ﬁre and/or serious per-

sonal injury.

1. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.

2. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking

to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before

turning it on.

3. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.

4. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in

damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well

lighted.

5. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work

area.

6. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks master switches, or by

removing starter keys.

7. DON’T FORCE TOOL It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which

it was designed.

8. USE RIGHT TOOL Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it

was not designed.

9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good

condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough

to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause

a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table 1

shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate

ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage

number, the heavier the cord.

if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other

part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will

operate properly and perform its intended function-check for alignment of

moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and

any other conditions that may affect its operation, A guard or other part

that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.

20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the

direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.

21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF. Don’t

leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.

DOUBLE-INSULATED TOOLS

1. Replacement Parts

When servicing use only identical replacement parts.

2. Polarized Plugs

To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other). This plug will ﬁt in a polarized outlet

only one way. If the plug does not ﬁt fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it

still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed electrician to install the proper outlet.

Do not change the plug in any way.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING: Do not permit ﬁngers to touch the terminal or plug when in-

stalling or removing the plug from an outlet.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, Double insulated tools are equipped

with a polarized plug (one blade

is wider than the other). This

plug will ﬁt in a polarized outlet

only one way. If the plug does not

ﬁt fully in the outlet, reverse the

plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact

a qualiﬁed electrician to install a

polarized outlet. Do not change

the plug in any way.

Double insulation eliminates the

need for the three-wire grounded

power cord and grounded power

supply system. Applicable only

to Class II (double-insulated) tools. This compound miter saw is a double

insulated tool.

WARNING: Double insulation DOES NOT take the place of normal safety

precautions when operating this tool.

BEFORE plugging in the tool, BE SURE that the outlet voltage supplied is

within the voltage marked on the tool’s data plate. DO NOT use “AC only”

rated tools with a DC power supply.

Cover of Grounded

Outlet Box

AVOID body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if

your body is grounded.

DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions or use power tools in

wet or damp locations. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk

of electric shock. This tool is intended for indoor use only.

If operating a power tool in damp locations is unavoidable, ALWAYS USE

a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter to supply power to your tool. ALWAYS

WEAR electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear in damp conditions.

INSPECT tool cords for damage. Have damaged tool cords repaired by

qualiﬁed person. BE SURE to stay constantly aware of the cord location

and keep it well away from the moving blade.

DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the tool by or to

pull the plug from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges

or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR LASERS

This miter saw has a built-in laser light.

The laser is a Class IIla and emits output

power of a maximum 2.5mW and 635-665nm

wavelengths. These lasers do not normally

present an optical hazard. However, DO NOT

stare at the beam as this can cause ﬂash

blindness.

CAUTION: The following label is on your tool. It indicates where the saw

emits the laser light. BE AWARE of the laser light location when using. AL-

WAYS MAKE SURE that any bystanders in the vicinity of use are made aware

of the dangers of looking directly into the laser.

WARNING: LASER LIGHT. LASER RADIATION. Avoid Direct Eye Exposure.

DO NOT stare into beam. Only turn laser beam on when the saw is on the

workpiece.

WARNING: Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures

other than those speciﬁed in this manual may result in hazardous radiation

exposure.

CAUTION

WARNING: The use of optical instruments such as, but not limited to, tele-

scopes or transits to view the laser beam will increase eye hazard.

1. The laser shall be used and maintained in accordance with the

manufacture’s instruction.

2. Never aim the beam at any person or an object other than the work piece.

3. Always ensure the laser beam is aimed at a sturdy work piece without

reﬂective surface. I.e. wood or rough coated surface are acceptable.

Bright shiny reﬂective sheet or the like is not suitable for laser use as the

reﬂective surface could direct the beam back at the operator.

4. Do not attempt to activate the laser when the tool housing is removed.

5. The laser is activated by means a button switch independent with the main

switch of the saw.

6. Do not change the laser light assembly with a different type. Any repairs

must only be carried out by the laser manufacture or authorized service

agent.

7. Do not attempt to repairs the laser guide by yourself.

8. Do not attempt to change any parts of the laser guide.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR MITER Saw

1. ALWAYS wear eye protection.

2. DO NOT operate saw without guards in place.

3. BE SURE turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before moving

workpiece or changing settings.

4. BE SURE disconnecting power before changing blade or servicing.

5. DO NOT expose to rain or use in damp location.

6. WHEN SERVICING, use only identical replacement parts.

7. ALWAYS ﬁrmly clamp or bolt your miter saw to a secure, stable

workbench or table at approximately hip height.

8. BE SURE that all adjustments are secure BEFORE making a cut.

9. ALWAYS make sure that the miter table and saw arm (bevel function) are

locked in position BEFORE operating your saw. Lock the miter table by

securely tightening the miter lock lever. Lock the saw arm (bevel function)

by securely tightening the bevel lock knob.

10. BE SURE that the blade path is free of nails. ALWAYS carefully inspect

lumber and remove all nails BEFORE cutting.

11. ALWAYS be sure that the blade clears the workpiece. NEVER start the

saw with the blade touching the workpiece. ALWAYS allow the motor to

come up to full speed BEFORE starting a cut.

12. SUPPORT long workpieces when cutting to minimize the risk of blade

pinching or kickback. The saw may slip, walk or slide while cutting long or

heavy boards.

13. NEVER use a length-stop on the free (scrap end) of a clamped workpiece,

NEVER hold onto or bind the free scrap end of the workpiece in any

operation. If work clamp and length stop are used together, THEY MUST

BOTH BE INSTALLED on the SAME SIDE of the saw table to prevent the

saw from catching the loose end and kicking up.

14. NEVER cut more than one piece at a time. DO NOT STACK more than one

workpiece on the worktable at a time.

15. AVOID awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip

could cause your hand to move into the blade. ALWAYS make sure that

you have good balance. NEVER operate your saw on the ﬂoor or in a

crouched position.

16. ONLY USE the correct blades. Use the right blade size, style and cutting

speed for the material and the type of cut. DO NOT use blades with

incorrect size holes. NEVER use blade washers or blade bolts that are

defective or incorrect. The maximum blade capacity for this saw is

12-inches.

17. ALWAYS keep blades clean, sharp and with the sufﬁcient set. Sharp

blades minimize stalling and kickback.

18. DO NOT use dull or damaged blades. Bent blades can break easily, or

cause kickback.

19. DO NOT remove the saw’s blade guards. NEVER operate the saw with

any guard or cover removed. MAKE SURE that all guards are operating

properly BEFORE each use.

20. NEVER hand holds a workpiece that is too small to be clamped. ALWAYS

keep your hands clear of the “no hands” zone.

21. NEVER perform any operation freehand. ALWAYS place the workpiece to

be cut on the miter saw table and position it ﬁrmly against the fence as a

backstop. ALWAYS use the fence.

22. NEVER apply lubricants to the blade when it is running. NEVER use

solvents to clean plastic parts. Solvents could possibly dissolve or

otherwise damage the material.

23. KEEP HAND OUT OF SAW BLADE. DO NOT reach under the material being

cut or in the blade’s cutting path with your ﬁngers or hand for any reason.

24. DO NOT turn the motor switch on and off rapidly. This could cause the

blade to loosen, which could create a hazard. Should this ever occur,

stand clear and allow the saw blade to come to a complete stop.

Disconnect the saw from the power source and securely tighten the

blade bolt.

25. ALWAYS turn off the saw before disconnecting it to avoid accidental

starting when reconnecting the saw to a power supply. NEVER leave the

saw unattended while connected to a power supply.

26. KEEP THE MOTOR AIR SLOTS clean and free of chips or dust. To avoid

motor damage, the motor should be blown out or vacuumed frequently to

keep sawdust from interfering with the motor ventilation.

27. NEVER lift this tool by gripping the cutting handle or the miter fence. This

may cause misalignment. ALWAYS carry saw by holding the base or carry

by the support bracket/carrying handle after you have locked the saw

arm in the “DOWN” position.
