Use the clamping devices or a vice to hold the
workpiece in place. In this manner, it is held
more securely than with your hand.
–
An additional support is necessary for long
workpieces (table, trestle, etc.) in order to pre-
vent the machine from tipping over.
–
Always press the workpiece firmly against
the working plate and stop in order to prevent
bouncing and twisting of the workpiece.
13 Avoid abnormal posture
–
Make sure that you have secure footing and
always maintain your balance.
–
Avoid awkward hand positions in which a sud-
den slip could cause one or both hands to come
into contact with the saw blade.
