Crosscutting
Thrown Workpiece
_CAUTION:
Workpiece could be picked up by
spinning blade and thrown. You
could be hit by thrown workpiece,
or your fingers or hand could be
pulled into blade. To reduce risk of
thrown workpiece:
1. Make sure installed fence is at least
half as high as the workpiece, and never
less than s/4".
2. Start cut with blade in rearmost posi-
don, behind fence.
3. Firmly hold workpiece fiat on table
and up against fence. Cut only one
workpiece at a time. Stacking or plac-
ing workpieces edge to edge can cause
user to lose control of workpiece.
4. Pull blade through workpiece only dis-
tance needed to complete cut, and
never more than half diameter of blade.
5. Push blade carriage to rearmost posi-
tion, behind fence, after each cut.
6. Do not reach for or touch cut off end
of workpiece until cut is complete,
blade is behind fence, saw is turned off,
and blade has stopped spinning.
7. Do not use length stop on cut-off end
of the workpiece because it can cause
cut-off end to be thrown and hit user.
Use length stop only on end of
workpiece which is held down.
8. Use table extensions to support
workpieces that extend beyond table.
