Body And Hand Position - Central Machinery 90597 Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

When the smoothest cuts are desired for molding and other precision work, use a sharp (60
tooth carbide) saw blade and a slower, even cutting rate. To ensure that material does not
creep while cutting, clamp it securely in place. Always let the saw blade come to a full stop
before raising the arm.
If small fibers of wood still split out at the rear of the workpiece, stick a piece of masking tape
on the wood where the cut will be made. Saw through the tape and carefully remove tape
when finished.
Proper positioning of your body and hands when operating the Miter Saw will make cutting
easier, more accurate, and safer. See Figures G.
Caution: Never place hands near the cutting area. Place hands no closer than six inches
from the saw blade. Never cross hands.
• Hold the workpiece tightly to the table and the Fence when cutting.
• Keep hands in position until the trigger Switch has been released and the saw blade has
completely stopped.
• Always make dry runs (without power) before finish cuts so that you can check the path
of the saw blade.
• Keep both feet firmly planted on the floor and maintain proper balance.
• As you move the miter arm left and right, follow it and stand slightly to the side of the saw
blade.
