• Don’t use in dangerous environment. Don’t use the stand in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted.

• Always use the stand on a flat and level surface. Do not use it at an uneven or unstable surface. Also, do not use the stand on slippery surface. It will greatly reduce the stand loading capacity.

• The stand is designed to be used as a stand for miter saws and has a capacity of up to
  400 lbs (181.44 kg). The total weight of the miter saw and workpiece must not exceed the capacity of this stand. Any misuse or abuse can result in product damage or personal injury.

• Do not sit or stand on the stand. Do not hang or put anything on it other than the miter saw on the stand.

• Do not modify the stand in any manner, or do not use the stand for any purpose other than for mounting a miter saw.

• The stand should be used only for miter saws with a blade diameter up to 12 in. (305 mm).

• The miter saw should be firmly mounted with the stand as per the instruction manual.

• Align the position and balance of the miter saw as per this instruction manual after mounting the miter saw on the stand.

• Take care during the raising and lowering of the stand to reduce the hazard of pinching hands and fingers.

• Disconnect the power plug from the receptacle when mounting or dismounting the miter saw from the stand.

• Mount the miter saw on the stand with the help of two or more people for your safety.

• When you mount the miter saw on the stand, hold the miter saw firmly by hands until the mounting bracket cam latches tightly secured to prevent the miter saw from falling down from the stand rails.

• After mounting the miter saw on the stand, make sure the stand will not fall over or be unintentionally moved by vibration, wind, impact or other foreseeable external forces. If this cannot be fulfilled, then stability shall be obtained by special safety measures. For example, securely anchor to the stand to the ground or foundation.

• Occasionally check that the stand and the miter saw, making sure the mounting of the miter saw is still tight. A loose stand is unstable and may shift while in use causing serious injury.
