Robson Ranch Woodworkers

These tools are used for crosscutting, mitering and beveling wood. They cut through the workpiece at a predetermined angle or miter, and they also can cut at a beveled angle. Because of the downward cutting motion, your safety requires that you stay very alert to keeping hands and fingers away from the path that the blade travels. Never place your hands or fingers in the path of the blade, or reach in back of the fence. Do not cross arms or hands in front of blade to secure workpiece. After completing a cut, release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop as mentioned, then raise the saw blade from the workpiece.
