Miter Saw Safety



All material to be cut must rest flat on the table and against the back of the saw.
 
The miter saw can be used to cut a 90 degree vertical cut, or at various angles. The fence must be in the proper position for each type of cut. At left, the fence is in the proper position for a vertical, 90 degree cut.
To cut diagonally, the fence position must be set as shown at left. The fence is removed by opening the clamp located on the back of the fence. The fence can then be removed and repositioned. Make sure the fence is securely locked into position before using the saw.
