• Place a support (the same height as saw table) behind
the saw for the cut work.

on the saw.
• Use a push block or push stick to move the wood
through the cut past the blade. Never push a small
piece of wood into the blade with your hand, always
use a push stick. The use of push blocks, push
sticks, and featherbeards are necessary when making
non-through cuts.
