or roller stands etc, adjusted so they are
at the same height as the saw table, to
prevent large workpieces from tipping or
twisting when being cut.
Never employ another person to hold or
support a large or odd shaped workpiece,
or to help feed the material into the saw.
When cutting odd shaped workpieces,
plan the sequence of operations to
ensure the chance of blade binding or
kickback is minimized.
Properly support round or tubular
material so that it can be securely
clamped to the saw table. Use a hold
down clamp which is designed to hold
such material.
WARNING[
Do not allow familiarity from frequent use
of your miter saw to result in a careless
mistake. A careless fraction of a second
is enough to cause a severe injury.
Before cutting, if the saw makes an
unfamiliar noise or vibrates, stop
immediately. Turn the saw OFF.
Unplug the saw.
Do not restart operations until any
problem has been found and corrected.
