3.Rip only workpieces longer than the diameter of the blade. Do not rip
workpieces that are shorter than the diameter of the blade being used.
4.Workpieces that extend beyond the saw table can shift, twist, rise up from the table, or fall as they are cut. Support workpiece with table extensions the same height as the saw table.
5.To prevent tipping, support outer ends of extensions with sturdy legs or an outrig- ger.
6.Do not use another person to help sup-
port workpieces or to aid by pushing or
pulling on workpieces, because these ac- tions can cause kickback. Use table exten-
sions.
7.Use clamps or vice to hold workpiece. It's safer than using your hands.
