Miter Box Saws and Chop Saws
Because of the saw's downward cutting motion, stay alert to keeping hands and fingers away from the blade's path.
Be sure all guards are in place and working. If a guard seems slow to return to its normal position, adjust or repair it immediately.
Use only recommended size and RPM rated blades.
When installing or changing a blade, be sure the blade and related washers and fasteners are correctly positioned and secured on the saw arbor.
