When cross cutting a board, use the miter gauge (cutting across the grain).The ripping fence and miter gauge should never be used together. Push sticks must be used whenever an operation is performed that would require the operator's hands to pass within 6 inches of the saw blade.When a helper is “tailing off” a work piece they should assist in supporting the work. Helpers should not push/pull on the board being cut.The operator should stand to the side of the wood while it is being fed through the saw. Never stand between the blade and ripping fence.After completing cut, the saw blade should come to a complete stop before taking work piece.Turn off the saw before making adjustments to the fence or blade.Don’t let saw dust and scrap wood accumulate around the blade. A two foot perimeter around the saw should be kept clear of debris and sawdust.Never cut stock free hand. ................
