While Operating the Saw
Prevent from getting a kickback (when the work piece is shot
against the operator). Keep the disc perfectly sharp, the
sawing guide parallel to the cutting disc, the riving knife, the
push stick and the guard set in place, aligned and functioning
correctly. Do not release the work piece until it passes
through the cutting completely. Do not cut through the grain
on warped or twisted wood, or with no right edge that
prevents it being guided along the guide.
