• Wear non-slip footwear.
• Tie back long hair.
• Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
• Noise levels vary widely. To avoid
possible hearing damage, wear ear
plugs when using any miter saw.
• For dusty operations, wear a dust mask
along with safety goggles.
INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE
Make sure there are no nails or foreign
objects in the part of the workpiece
being cut.
Plan your work to avoid small pieces that
may bind, or that are too small to clamp
and get a solid grasp on. Plan the way
you will grasp the workpiece from start
to nish. Avoid awkward operations and
hand positions. Keep your hands at least
6 inches away from the blade path.
A sudden slip could cause your ngers
or hand to move into the blade.
TO ENSURE THE BLADE PATH IS
CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS, ALWAYS
MAKE A DRY RUN OF THE CUT
WITHOUT POWER BEFORE MAKING
ANY CUTS ON THE WORKPIECE.
DO NOT OVER-REACH
Keep good footing and balance. Keep
your face and body to one side, out of the
line of a possible kickback. NEVER stand
in the line of the blade.
Never cut freehand:
• Brace your workpiece rmly against the
fence and table stop so it will not rock
or twist during the cut.
• Make sure there is no debris between
the workpiece and the table or fence.
• Make sure there are no gaps between
the workpiece, fence and table that will
let the workpiece shift after it is cut.
• Keep the cut off piece free to move
sideways after it is cut off. Otherwise,
it could get wedged against the blade
and thrown violently.
• Only the workpiece should be on the
saws table.
• Secure work. Use clamps or a vise to
help hold the work when it is practical.
