3.
Dull, badly set, improper,
or
improperly filed cutting tools and cutting tools with gum
or
resin adhering to them cause many
of
the tilting arbor saw accidents. Never use a cracked
saw blade. The use
of
a sharp, well maintained, and correct cutting tool for the operation
will help
to
avoid injuries.
4.
Support
the work properly and hold
it
firmly against the gauge or fence.
Use
a push stick
or
block (Fig. 1 and 2) when ripping short, narrow
(6"
width
or
less), or thin work. Use a
push block or miter gauge hold-down when dadoing
or
molding.
5.
For
increased safety in crosscutting, use an auxiliary wood facing attached
to
the miter
gauge using the holes provided. (Fig. 7, p. 9)
6.
Never use the fence
as
a length stop when crosscutting. Do
not
hold on
to
or
touch
the
free end or
cutoff
section
of
a work piece. On thru sawing operations, the
cutoff
section
must
not
be confined.
7.
Always keep
your
hands
out
of
the line
of
the saw blade
and
never reach back
of
the
cutting
blade with either hand
to
hold down the work piece. .
8.
Bevel ripping cuts should always be made with the fence on the right side
of
the saw blade
so
that
the blade tilts away from the fence and minimizes the possibility
of
the
work binding
and the resulting kickback.
9.
Use
the miter gauge on the right-hand side
of
the saw blade when doing miter or
compound
miter cuts
to
provide more hand clearance and safety.
