Safety tips to follow when using your DeWalt miter saw

• Keep your work area clean and uncluttered to prevent accidents. Work in a well-lit area so you can clearly see the miter saw blade and work piece when making cuts.
• Don't operate the miter saw around flammable liquids, gasses or dust. The miter saw produces sparks, which can ignite dust, liquids or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away from the work area when cutting work pieces. Flying debris can cause injury to children or bystanders and distractions can cause you to lose control of the saw.
• Wear work gloves to protect your hands and eye protection to prevent eye injury when operating the miter saw.

Replacing the blade in your DeWalt miter saw

• Use only the recommended replacement blades in your miter saw. Never use a blade that is too thick to allow the outer blade washer to engage with the flats on the spindle. Thicker blades can prevent the blade screw from securing the blade on the spindle, resulting in serious personal injury.
• Wear work gloves to protect your hands when replacing the blade. Unplug the miter saw before replacing the blade.
• Push down on the saw arm and pull out the lock pin to release saw arm. Raise saw arm to its full raised position. Be cautious, saw arm is spring loaded.
• Loosen the screw on the blade bolt cover until the blade bolt cover can be raised. Gently raise the lower blade guard bracket, releasing the lower blade guard from the notch so that the lower blade guard and blade bolt cover can be rotated up and back to expose the blade boll.
• Hold the spindle lock button in and remove the blade bold and washer then remove the blade.
• Install the new blade on the spindle and reassemble the saw.
