-7-
Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are fre-
quently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and
caution to lessen the possibility of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored, serious personal injury may occur.
Safety Instructions for Double Miter Saws
7. DISCONNECT AIR PRESSURE. To avoid
the risk of unintentional operation, discon-
nect air pressure when the machine is not
in use. Always disconnect air pressure from
the machine when performing maintenance,
setup, or service.
8. BE AWARE OF AIR HOSE LOCATION.
Hoses can easily become a tripping hazard
when laid across the floor in a disorganized
manner.
9. STALLED BLADE. Disconnect the saw
from power before attempting to "free" a
stalled saw blade or jammed workpiece.
10. WORKPIECE SUPPORT. Provide adequate
support for workpieces that extend beyond
the extension wings.
11. STABLE POSITION. Avoid operations and
hand positions where a slip could cause
your hand to move into the blade.
12. MACHINE CONDITION. If any part of the
machine is damaged or not working prop-
erly, STOP using the machine immediately.
To avoid the risk of serious personal injury,
make sure that proper repairs are completed
before re-connecting the machine to power.
13. EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at
any time you are experiencing difficulties
performing the intended operation, stop
using the machine! Contact our Service
Department at (570) 546-9663.
1. SAFETY GUARDS. The safety guards are
designed to protect you from the spinning
blades and flying debris during operation.
Always keep the safety guards in their cor-
rect position when the machine is in opera-
tion.
2. KICKBACK. Be familiar with kickback.
Kickback happens when the workpiece is
thrown towards the operator at a high rate
of speed. Until you have a clear understand-
ing of kickback and how it occurs, DO NOT
operate this saw!
3. WORKPIECE CONTROL. To avoid kick-
back, make sure the workpiece is stable
on the table and is supported by the fence,
extension wings, and pneumatic hold-
downs. DO NOT perform any cutting opera-
tions free-hand.
4. REACHING NEAR SAFETY GUARDS. The
spinning saw blades can cause serious
personal injury very quickly. Never reach
near or under safety guards when the
machine is connected to power. Disconnect
the machine from power before placing your
hands within 4" of the safety guards.
5. DAMAGED SAW BLADES. Never use
blades that have been dropped or otherwise
damaged.
6. USE CORRECT AIR PRESSURE.
Exceeding the maximum 90 PSI air pres-
sure rating of this machine may cause
unpredictable operation, personal injury, or
damage to the machine.
