iNSPECTYOUR WORKPtECE
Make sure there ere no nails or foreign objects in
the part of the workpiece being cut.
Plan your work to avoid smetl pieces that may bind,
or that are too small to clamp and get a solid
grasp on.
Plan the way you witl grasp the workpiece from
starttofinish.Avoid 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.
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 6-3/4 inches of the saw blade
the workpiece is too smell. Keep hands end
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".
