can twist or rock and may cause binding on the
spinning saw blade while cutting. Also, make
sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the
workpiece.

Workpieces longer or wider than the miter saw
table can tip if not securely supported. If the
cutoff piece or workpiece tips, it can lift the lower
guard or be thrown by the spinning blade.

to suddenly climb up on the top of the
workpiece and force itself toward you.
