How to use a Miter Saw

 My mother always told me, “Never say never”  but that does not apply when using power tools.

There are a few “never” and “always” rules to follow when using a miter saw.

NEVER:

• Never cross your hands, arms or any other body part over the path of the saw blade.
• Never start the saw when the blade is touching the wood.
• Never wear jewelry
• Never wear baggy clothes
• Never wear glove
• Never operate a power tool under the influence of fatigue, drugs, alcohol or medication that advises you against operating heavy machinery or driving a car…
• Never use power tools when you can not focus 100% on what you are cutting.  Do not allow distractions in the same room with you and your miter saw.  🙂

ALWAYS:

• Always wear eye protection!
• Wear ear protection
• Wear a dust mask
• Wear close-toed shoes
• Follow safety, use and care instructions provided in your specific tool manual.
• Use common sense.

Be safe, be smart and be awesome!
