If supporting the workpiece by hand, you must always keep hand outside of “No Hands” area as marked with a symbol on the base. Do not use this saw to cut pieces that are too small to be securely clamped. Your hand if placed inside the “No Hands” region can easily slip or be pulled into the blade. • Do not reach in back of the saw blade behind the fence with either hand to hold down or support the workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for any other reason. The proximity of the spinning saw blade to your hand may not be obvious and you may be seriously injured. • Never cross your hand over intended line of cutting. Supporting the workpiece “cross handed” i.e. holding the left side of the workpiece with your right hand is very dangerous. • Disconnect battery pack from tool before performing any assembly, adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally. • Miter saws are intended primarily to cut wood or woodlike products, they cannot be used with abrasive cutoff wheels for cutting ferrous material such as bars, rods, studs, etc. However, if cutting materials like aluminum or other non-ferrous metals, use only saw blades specifically recommended for non-ferrous metal cutting. Cutting ferrous materials causes excessive sparking and will damage the lower guard and will overload the motor. (NOTE: Robert Bosch Tool Corporation does not offer 10” metal cutting blades.) • Inspect your workpiece before cutting. If workpiece is bowed or warped, clamp it with the outside bowed face toward the fence. Always make certain that there is no gap between the workpiece, fence and table along the line of the cut. Bent or warped workpieces can twist or rock and may cause binding on the spinning saw blade while cutting. Also, make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the workpiece. • Do not use the saw until the table is clear of all tools, wood scraps, etc., except the workpiece. Small debris or loose pieces of wood or other objects that contact the revolving blade can be thrown with high speed at the operator. • Do not feed workpiece into the blade or cut “freehand” in any way. Workpiece must be stationary and clamped or braced by your hand. Saw must be fed through the workpiece smoothly and at a rate which will not overload the saw’s motor. • Cut only one workpiece at a time. Multiple workpieces cannot be adequately clamped or braced and may bind on the blade or shift during cutting. • Be certain the miter saw is mounted or placed on a level, firm work surface before using. A level and firm work surface reduces the risk of the miter saw becoming unstable. • Plan your work. Provide adequate support accessories such as tables, saw horses, table extension, etc. for workpieces wider or longer than the table top (see page 50). Workpieces longer or wider than the miter saw table can tip if not securely supported. If the cutoff piece or workpiece tips it can lift the lower guard or be thrown by the spinning blade. • Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension or as additional support. Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the cutting operation pulling you and the helper into the spinning blade. • The cutoff piece must not be jammed against or pressured by any other means against the spinning saw blade. If confined, i.e. using length stops, it could get wedged against the blade and thrown violently. “SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS” 3 WARNING! Safety “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. • Always use a clamp or a fixture designed to properly support round material such as dowel rods, or tubing. Rods have a tendency to roll while being cut, causing the blade to “bite” and pull the work with your hand into the blade. • When cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not slip and pinch the blade and be torn from your hand. A piece of molding, for example, must lie flat or be held by a fixture or jig that will not let it twist, rock or slip while being cut. • Let the blade reach full speed before contacting the workpiece. This will help avoid thrown workpieces. • If the workpiece or blade becomes jammed or bogged down, turn miter saw “OFF” by releasing switch. Wait for all moving parts to stop and remove battery pack from tool, then work to free the jammed material. Continued sawing with jammed workpiece could cause loss of control or damage to compound miter saw. • Braking action of the saw causes the saw head to jerk downward. Be ready for this reaction when making an incomplete cut or when releasing the switch before the head is completely in the down position. • After finishing the cut, release the switch, hold the saw arm down and wait for blade to stop before removing work or cutoff piece. If blade does not stop with...
