properly to make cutting easier
and safer. Observe the following instructions (See
figure 23).

• Never place hands near cutting area. Keep
hands outside the "No Hands Zone". The "No
Hands Zone" is defined as the area between
marked lines on the left and right side of the table,
including the entire Table and portion of the Fence
within these marked lines. This zone is labeled by
"No Hands" symbols placed along side the marked
lines on the table. The marked "No Hands Zone"
on the product is valid for making cut at zero miter
and zero bevel. When making cut other than at
zero miter and zero bevel setting, always check to
ensure your hand is placed at least six (6) inches
away from the projected path of the saw blade.
Always use clamp to hold workpiece against the
table and fence when making compound miter cuts.
Do not support by hand.
• Hold workpiece firmly to the fence to prevent
movement.
• Keep hands in position until trigger has been re-
leased and blade has stopped completely.
• Keep feet firmly on the floor and maintain proper
balance.
• Follow the miter arm when mitering left or right.
Stand slightly to the side of the saw blade.
• Sight through the lower guard if following a pencil
line.
*Always follow manufacturer instructions*

• Before making any cut, with the power off, lower
the blade to preview the blade path - dry run.
The lower guard may not auto-

matically open under certain
cutting conditions.
• Typically this may occur when trying to cut work-
pieces that are near the maximum cutting height
capacity. Under these conditions, the workpiece
can stop the lower guard movement before the
downward motion of the arm could preopen the
lower guard. If this occurs:
• Workpiece must be securely clamped. This frees
your left hand to raise the guard 1 by the lip 2 just
enough to clear the workpiece. (See Figure 24)
• Start the saw and begin your cut.
• Once you have cleared the position where the
lower guard may bind, release the guard and it will
continue to raise automatically as you cut.
Be aware of the path of the saw
WARNING
blade. Make a dry run with the
saw Off by conducting a simulated cutting
cycle, and observe the projected path of the saw
blade. Keep hands at least six (6) inches away
from the projected path of the saw blade.
DRY RUN—It is important to know where the blade
will intersect with the workpiece during cutting oper-
ations. Always perform the simulated cutting se-
quence with the power tool switched OFF to gain an
understanding of the projected path of the saw
blade. Mentally note where the path of saw blade
will fall and set up your work to keep your hands and
arms at least six (6) inches away from the projected
path of the spinning blade. Adjust your clamps and
fences so that the smooth lower guard and cutting
action is not interfered with during cutting operation.
