INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1. WARNING! Always make sure the Switch Lever (41) is in its “OFF”
position, and unplug the Power Cord (27) from its 120 volt electrical outlet
before performing any inspection, adjustments, maintenance, or cleaning.
2. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the Miter Saw. Check for
loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts,
damaged electrical wiring, loose, cracked, or bent Saw Blade (4), and any other
condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs,
have the problem corrected before further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
8. When the Saw Blade (4) is turning at full speed, slowly bring down the Motor
Housing (31) to complete the cut.
NOTE: Feed the Saw Blade into the work-
piece gradually. Do not force the machine to remove material faster than it was
designed to cut.
9. When cutting a large workpiece, make sure its entire length is properly support-
ed. If necessary, use a roller stand (not included) with a larger workpiece.
10. Never attempt to remove material stuck in the moving parts of the Miter Saw
while it is plugged in and running.
11. Turn off the Miter Saw if the workpiece is to be backed out of an uncompleted cut.
12. When the cut is complete, release the Switch Lever (41). This allows the Safety
Button (37) to return to the “OFF” position.
13. Wait until the Saw Blade (4) comes to a complete stop. Then, raise the Motor
Housing (31) to its full “UP” position.
14. Loosen the Clamp Assembly (96, 99, 109, 111), and remove the workpiece and
scrap material from the Work Table (87).
15. Unplug the Power Cord (27) from its electrical outlet.
