Field Tip:
Make sure to follow safety practices whenever using
a Power Miter Saw.
Modern saws are very safe, but if you allow things
to go wrong, they will do so very quickly.
Most mishaps with this tool will occur from failure to
support the work properly.
You can easily account for this by making sure the
work is fi rmly held against both the fence and table
and that you have made provisions for supporting
the piece that will fall when the cut is fi nished.
Let the saw come to a COMPLETE stop before you
lift it out of a cut. A coasting saw blade will quickly
fi nd a loose piece of material as it is lifted out of the
cut and launch it at great speed.
Also, coasting saw blades can tear up a fresh, pris-
tine cut.
Keep your hands away from the cut. There are
K
markings on the saw table that show where to keep
m
you hands during a cut. Use them.
yo
Never make a cut that makes you hold on to less
Ne
than 6” of material.
