Use extra supports (tables, _saw horses, blocks etc.) for:any workpiece large enough to tip when not held down to the table top.
o Never use another person as a substitute for a table extension, or as additional support for a workpiece or to help feed, support or pull the workpiece

Plan the way you will hold the workpiece from start to finish.
Do not hand hold pieces so small that your fingers will go under the blade guard. Use jigs or fixtures to hold the work and keep your hands away from the blade.
