Position your body and hands prop-

erly to make cutting easier and safer.

Observe the following instructions (Figure 18).

● Never place hands near cutting area. Keep

hands outside the “No Hands” zone.

● The “No Hands Zone” is defined as the area

between marked lines on the left and right side of

the Base, including the entire Table and portions

of the Fence within these marked lines. This

zone is labeled by “No Hands” symbols placed

just inside the marked lines on the Base.

● Hold workpiece firmly to the fence to prevent

movement.

● Keep hands in position until trigger has been

released and blade has stopped completely.

● Never place hands on slide rails.

Figure 18. Hand Positions

● Keep feet firmly on the floor and maintain prop-

er balance.

● Follow the miter arm when mitering left or right.

Stand slightly to the side of the saw blade.

● Before making any cut, with the power off, lower

the blade to preview the blade path.

The lower guard may not automati-

cally open under certain cutting con-

ditions. If this occurs:

● Typically this may occur when trying to cut work-

pieces that are near the maximum cutting height

capacity. Under these conditions, the workpiece

can stop the lower guard movement before the

downward motion of the arm could pre-open the

lower guard. If this occurs:

● Workpiece must be securely clamped. This

frees a hand to raise the guard by the lip just

enough to clear the workpiece (Figure 19).

● Start the saw and begin your cut.

● Once you have cleared the position where the

lower guard may bind, release the guard and it

will continue to operate automatically as you

cut.
