Safety

WARNING “READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS” — Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES identified by BULLET (•) symbol listed BELOW and other safety precautions, may result in serious personal injury.

Work Area

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Do not leave tool running unattended, turn power off. Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• MAKE WORKSHOp CHIlDpROOf with padlock, master switches, or by removing starter keys.

Electrical Safety

• Before plugging in the tool, be certain the outlet voltage supplied is compatible with the voltage marked on the nameplate within 10%. An outlet voltage incompatible with that specified on the nameplate can result in serious hazards and damage to the tool.
• Double-insulated tools are equipped with 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 a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet.
• Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. A moment of inattention or use of drugs, alcohol or medication while operating power tools can be dangerous.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Roll long sleeves above elbows. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is “Off” before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch “ON” invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool “ON”. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool will be thrown.
• Do not overreach, keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Do not stand on tool or its stand. Serious injury may occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting tool is accidentally contacted. Do not store materials on or near the tool such that it is necessary to stand on the tool or its stand to reach them.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear safety goggles. Dust mask, safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

Tool Use and Care

• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed. Do not use the tool for purpose not intended – for example; do not use the miter saw for slicing meats.
• Direction of feed — Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it “ON” or “Off”. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments or changing accessories. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges, are less likely to bind and easier to control. When mounting saw blades be certain that the arrow on the blade matches the direction of the arrow marked on the tool and that the teeth are also pointing in the same direction.
• Inspect guards before using a tool. Keep guards in place. Check moving parts for binding or any other condition that may affect the normal operation or safety features of the tool. If damaged, have tool serviced before using the tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Do not alter or misuse tool. Any alteration or modification is a misuse and may result in serious personal injury.
• The use of any other accessories not specified in this manual may create a hazard. Accessories that may be suitable for one type of tool, may become hazardous when used on an inappropriate tool.

Service

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel may result in misplacing internal wires and components which could cause serious hazard.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow Maintenance Instructions may create a hazard.

Safety Rules for Sharpener Station

Additional Safety Warnings

WARNING “READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS” — Failure to follow the SAFETY RULES identified by BULLET (•) symbol listed BELOW and other safety precautions, may result in serious personal injury.

THINK SAFETY! SAFETY IS A COMBINATION OF THE OPERATOR’S COMMON SENSE, KNOWLEDGE OF THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS AND ALERTNESS AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE MITER SAW IS BEING USED.

WARNING Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Double Insulated Tools

Double insulation is a design concept used in electric power tools that eliminates the need for the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system. It is a recognized and approved system by Underwriter’s Laboratories, CSA and Federal OSHA authorities.

• Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician.
• WHEN SERVICING, USE ONLY IDENTICAL REPLACEMENT PARTS.
• POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, your tool is equipped with 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. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not change the plug in any way.

Extension Cords

• Replace damaged cords immediately. Use of damaged cords can shock, burn or electrocute.
• If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with adequate size conductors should be used to prevent excessive voltage drop, loss of power or overheating. The table shows the correct size to use, depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating of tool. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Always use U.L. and CSA listed extension cords.
