Grounding Instructions

 

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION 

READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:

110-120 V~ Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs

Outlets for 2-Prong Plug

1.  To reduce the risk of electric shock, double 

insulated 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.

2.  Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 

120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration.  

(See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)

Miter Saw Safety Warnings

For Your Own Safety Read Instruction 

Manual Before Operating Miter Saw

1.  Wear eye protection.

2.  Keep hands out of path of saw blade.

3.  Do not operate saw without guards in place.

4.  Do not perform any operation freehand.

5.  Never reach around saw blade.

6.  Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before 

moving workpiece or changing settings.

7.  Disconnect power before changing blade or servicing.

8.  To reduce risk of injury, return carriage to the full 

rear position after each crosscut operation.

9.  Return all guards to original position if any are 

moved during blade replacement.  Check all 

guards for proper operation after service.

10. The lock down pin is to be used only to lock 

the head in place for carrying and storage.  

It is not to be used for any cutting operation.

11. 

DANGER!  Coasting Cutting Tool Can Be 

Dangerous – Apply brake immediately to stop 

cutting tool when the switch is turned off.

12. 

The torque developed during braking may 

loosen the blade-retaining nut/bolt.  The blade 

retaining nut/bolt should be checked periodically 

and tightened if necessary, especially after braking.

13. Always use blades with correct size and shape 

(diamond versus round) of arbor holes. Blades that 

do not match the mounting hardware of the saw 

will run eccentrically, causing loss of control.

14. Never use damaged or incorrect blade washers 

or bolt. The blade washers and bolt were 

specially designed for your saw, for optimum 

performance and safety of operation.

15. Do not use to cut logs, tree limbs, or uneven lumber.

16. Wet lumber, green (unseasoned) lumber, and 

pressure treated lumber all have an increased 

potential for kickback and should only be cut with a 

blade for cutting that lumber type.  Wear a NIOSH-

approved respirator and have appropriate ventilation 

whenever cutting pressure treated lumber.

17. Do not use blades made from high-speed steel, 

abrasive blades, metal-cutting blades or masonry-

cutting blades.  The guards of this saw are not 

designed to protect against the failure of such blades.

18. Blades must be rated to at least the 

maximum speed marked on the tool.

19. 

DO NOT OPERATE WITH ANY GUARD DISABLED, 

DAMAGED, OR REMOVED.  Moving guards 

must move freely and close instantly.

20. The use of accessories or attachments not 

recommended by the manufacturer may 

result in a risk of injury to persons.

21. When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
