i.e. holding the workpiece to the right of the saw
blade with your left hand or vice versa is very
dangerous.

RU WKH JXDUGLQJ V\VWHP Without turning the tool
"ON" and with no workpiece on the table, move
the saw blade through a complete simulated cut to
assure there will be no interference or danger of
cutting the fence.
12. Provide adequate support such as table exten-
VLRQV VDZ KRUVHV HWF IRU D ZRUNSLHFH WKDW LV
wider or longer than the table top. Workpieces
longer or wider than the mitre saw table can tip
if not securely supported. If the cut-off piece or
workpiece tips, it can lift the lower guard or be
thrown by the spinning blade.
13. Do not use another person as a substitute for
a table extension or as additional support.
Unstable support for the workpiece can cause the
blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during the
cutting operation pulling you and the helper into
the spinning blade.

being cut, causing the blade to "bite" and pull the
work with your hand into the blade.
16. Let the blade reach full speed before contact-
ing the workpiece. This will reduce the risk of the
workpiece being thrown.
