DRESS FOR SAFETY

Any power tool can throw foreign objects into the eyes. This can result in permanent eye damage.

Everyday eyeglasses have only impact resistant lenses and are not safety glasses. Glasses or

goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could seriously injure you if they break.

ŏ Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, watches). They can get caught

and draw you into moving parts.

ŏ Wear non-slip footwear.

ŏ Tie back long hair.

ŏ Roll long sleeves above the elbow.

ŏ Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible hearing damage, wear earplugs when using any

miter saw.

ŏ For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along with safety goggles.

INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE

ŏ Make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of the workpiece being cut.

ŏ Plan your work to avoid small pieces that may bind or are too small to clamp and hold

securely.

DO NOT OVERREACH

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.
