Workpiece Inspection
Some wood workpieces are not safe to cut or may require
modification before they are safe to cut.
Before cutting wood, get in the habit of inspecting all
workpieces for the following:
• Material Type: This machine is intended for
cutting natural and man-made wood products, and
laminate-covered wood products. Cutting drywall or
cementitious backer board creates extremely fine
dust, which may reduce the life of the bearings. This
machine is NOT designed to cut metal, glass, stone,
tile, etc.
• Foreign Objects (Figure 38): Nails, staples, dirt,
rocks and other foreign objects are often embedded
in wood. While cutting, these objects can become
dislodged and hit the operator or break the blade,
which might then fly apart. Always visually inspect
your workpiece for these items. If they can't be
removed, DO NOT cut the workpiece.
• Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots can become
dislodged during the cutting operation. Large knots
can cause blade damage. Choose workpieces that do
not have large/loose knots or plan ahead to avoid
cutting through them.

embedded foreign materials.
