grasp on.
Plan the way you witl grasp the workpiece from
starttofinishAvoid. awkward operationsend hand
positions.A sudden slipcould cause your fingersor hand to move into the blade.
DO NOT OVER-REACH
Keep good footing end balance. Keep your face
and body to one side, out of the line of e possible
kickback. NEVER stand in the line of the blade.
Never cut freehand:
Brace your workpiece firmly against the fence end 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 ere no gaps between the workpiece, fence end 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 end thrown violently.
Only the workpiece should be on the saws table. Secure work. Use ctemps or a vise to help hotd the work when it's practical.
USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH LARGE OR ODD SHAPED WORKPIECES.
Use extra supports (tables, sawhorses, blocks, etc.) for workpieces large enough to tip.
Never use another person as e substitute for e table extension, or as an additional support for e workpiece that is longer or wider then the basic miter saw table, or to help feed, support, or pull the workpiece.
Do not use this sew to cut sina!! pieces. If the workpiece being cut would cause your hand or fingers to be within
fingers out of the "no hands zone" area marked on the saws table.
•When cutting odd shaped workpieces, plan your work so it will not bind in the blade end cause
possible injury. Molding, for example, must He
fiat or be hetd by e fixture or jig that will not let it move when cut.
Properly support round materia_ such as dowel rods, or tubing, which have e tendency to roll when cut, causing the blade to "bite".
