When the workpiece is secured on the left side of the blade, the short cut-off portion
will come to rest on the right side of the saw blade. Always turn the power off and let
the saw blade stop completely before raising the handle from the workpiece.
If the handle is raised while the saw blade is still rotating, the cut-off piece may
become jammed against the saw blade causing fragments to scatter about
dangerously.
Always secure the workpiece with the right hand side for compound cutting. Never
rotate the table to the right for compound cutting, because the saw blade might
then contact the clamp or vise that secures the workpiece, and cause personal injury
or damage.
