Work Piece and Work Area Set Up

Operation

1.Work piece selection:

a.Work piece must be free of foreign objects and loose knots.

b.Wet lumber, green (unseasoned) lumber, and pressure treated lumber all have an increased potential for kickback and should only be cut with a blade designed for cutting that lumber. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator and have appropriate ventilation whenever cutting pressure treated lumber.

2.Designate a work area that is clean and well‑lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent distraction and injury.

3.Route the power cord along a safe route to reach the work area without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.

4.Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working.

5.Verify that there are no utility lines or hardware in or near the workpiece. This is especially critical for plunge cuts.
