| | + | * Keep your fingers and hands away from the blade and all moving parts. |
| | + | * If a blade breaks or gets pulled from the holder turn off the machine and tell the supervisor. |
| | + | * Always wear proper safety equipment to prevent injury. |
| | + | * Some woods can create toxic dust so be aware of what you are cutting. |
| | + | * Hold onto material firmly as the blade will try to lift the material off the table. |
| | + | * Use a brush to clear away chips and sawdust. |
| | + | * Allow the blade to do the cutting at its own speed. Don't force material into the blade. |
