Workpiece Safety Instructions
1. Cut only one workpiece at a time. Do
not stack workpieces or lay them edge
to edge.
2. Rip only workpieces longer than the
diameter of the blade. Do not rip
workpieces that are shorter than the
diameter of the blade being used.
3. Workpieces that extend beyond the
saw table can shift, twist, rise up from
the table, or fall as they are cut or after-
wards. Support workpiece with table ex-
tensions the same height as the saw
table.
4. To prevent tipping, support outer
ends of extensions with sturdy legs or an
outrigger.
5. Other persons can be hit by a thrown
workpiece, workpiece chips or pieces of
blade. Do not allow other persons in the
work area.
6. Do not use another person to help
support workpieces or to aid by pushing
or pulling on workpieces, because these
actions can cause kickback. Use table
extensions.
7. Use clamps or vice to hold workpiece.
It's safer than using your hands.
