KNOW YOUR MITER SAW
See Figure 2.
Before attempting to use your saw, familiarize yourself with
all operating features and safety requirements.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your miter saw to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

Your saw has a powerful 14 amp motor with sufficient
power to handle tough cutting jobs. It is made with all ball
bearings.
