“SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS”

● Use safety equipment. Always wear safety

goggles. Dust mask, safety shoes, hard hat or

hearing protection must be used for appropriate

conditions. Everyday eyeglasses only have

impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety

glasses.

Tool Use and Care

● Use clamps or other practical way to secure

and support the workpiece to a stable plat-

form. Holding the work by hand or against your

body is unstable. It allows for work to shift,

causes binding of the tool and loss of control.

● Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for

your application. The correct tool will do the

job better and safer at the rate for which it is

designed. Do not use the tool for purpose not

intended - for example; do not use the miter saw

for slicing meats.

● Do not use tool if switch does not turn it

“ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be con-

trolled with the switch is dangerous.

● Disconnect the plug from the power source

before making any adjustments or changing

accessories. Such preventive safety mea-

sures reduce the risk of starting the tool acci-

dentally.

● Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges, are

less likely to bind and easier to control. When

mounting saw blades be certain that the arrow

on the blade matches the direction of the arrow

marked on the tool and that the teeth are also

pointing in the same direction.

● Inspect guards before using a tool. Keep

guards in place. Check moving parts for

binding or any other condition that may

affect the normal operation or safety fea-

tures of the tool. If damaged, have tool ser-

viced before using the tool. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained tools.

● Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or

modification is a misuse and may result in seri-

ous personal injury.

● The use of any other accessories not speci-

fied in this manual may create a hazard.

Accessories that may be suitable for one type of

tool, may become hazardous when used on an

inappropriate tool.

Service

● Tool service must be performed only by

qualified repair personnel. Service or mainte-

nance performed by unqualified personnel may

result in misplacing internal wires and compo-

nents which could cause serious hazard.

● When servicing a tool, use only identical

replacement parts. Follow instructions in

the Maintenance section of this manual. Use

of unauthorized parts or failure to follow

Maintenance Instructions may create a hazard.

Safety Rules

For Miter Saws

● Use clamps to support workpiece whenever

possible. If supporting the workpiece by

hand, you must always keep hand outside of

“No Hand” area as marked with a symbol on

the base. Do not use this saw to cut pieces

that are too small to be securely clamped.

Your hand if placed inside the “No Hands”

region can easily slip or be pulled into the blade.

● Do not reach in back of the saw blade

behind the fence with either hand to hold

down or support the workpiece, remove

wood scraps, or for any other reason. The

proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand

may not be obvious and you may be seriously

injured.

● Never cross your hand over intended line of

cutting. Supporting the workpiece “cross hand-

ed” i.e. holding the left side of the workpiece

with your right hand is very dangerous.

● Always disconnect the power cord from the

power source before making any adjust-

ments or attaching any accessories. You

may unintentionally start the saw, leading to

serious personal injury.

● Miter saws are intended to cut wood or

woodlike products, they cannot be used with

abrasive cutoff wheels for cutting ferrous

material such as bars, rods, studs, etc.

However, if cutting materials like aluminum

or other non-ferrous metals, use only saw

blades specifically recommended for non-

ferrous metal cutting. Cutting ferrous materi-

als causes excessive sparking and will damage

the lower guard and will overload the motor.

(NOTE: S-B Power Tool Company does not

offer 10” metal cutting blades.)
