POWER TOOL SAFETY
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS POWER TOOL
Safety is a combination of common sense,
staying alert and knowing how to use your
power tool.
9. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Do not force the
tool or an attachment to do a job for which
it was not designed.
10. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORDS.
Make sure your extension cord is in good
condition. When using an extension cord,
be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will result in a drop
in line voltage and in loss of power which
will cause the tool to overheat. The table
on page 9 shows the correct size to use
depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.

PROTECTION. Any power tool
can throw foreign objects into
the eyes and could cause permanent
eye damage. ALWAYS wear Safety
Goggles (not glasses) that comply with
ANSI Safety standard Z87.1. Everyday
eyeglasses have only impact–resistant
lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.
NOTE: Glasses or goggles not in
compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could
seriously injure you when they break.

CUTTING BASE MOLDING (FIG. NN)
Base moldings and many other moldings can
be cut on a compound miter saw. The setup
of the saw depends on molding characteristics
and application, as shown. Perform practice
cuts on scrap material to achieve best results:
1. $OZD\VPDNHVXUHPROGLQJVUHVW¿UPO\
against fence and table. Use hold-down,
crown molding vice or C-clamps, whenever
possible, and place tape on the area being
clamped to avoid marks.
2. Reduce splintering by taping the cut area
prior to making the cut. Mark the cut line
directly on the tape.
3. Splintering typically happens due to an
incorrect blade application and thinness
of the material.
When setting the bevel and miter angles for
compound miters, remember that the settings
are interdependent.
