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 randomly at great speeds.

Also, coasting saw blades can tear up a fresh, pristine
cut.
Keep your hands away from the cut. There are mark-
ings on the saw table that show where to keep you
hands during a cut. Use them.
Never
make a cut that makes you hold on to less than
N
6”
6 of material.
