o Useextra supports (tables,
sawhorses, blocks, etc.) for
workpieces large enough to tip.
o Never use another person as a
substitute for a table extension, or as
an additional support for a workpiece
that is longer or wider than the basic
miter saw table, or to help feed,
support, or pull the workpiece.
o Do not use this saw to cut small
pieces. If the workpiece being cut
would cause your hand or fingers
to be within 8-3/4 inches of the saw
blade the workpiece is too small.
Keep hands and fingers out of the
"no hands zone" area marked on
the saws table.
o When cutting odd shaped
workpieces, plan your work so it
will not bind in the blade and cause
Never cut freehand:
o Brace your workpiece firmly against
the fence and table stop so it will
not rock or twist during the cut.
o Make sure there is no debris between
the workpiece and the table or fence.
o Make sure there are no gaps
between the workpiece, fence and
table that will let the workpiece shift
after it is cut.
possible injury. Molding, for example,
must lie flat or be held by a fixture or
jig that will not let it move when cut.
Properly support round material
such as dowel rods, or tubing, which
have a tendency to roll when cut,
causing the blade to "bite".
