Plan the Way You Will Hold the Workpiece
from Start to Finish.
• Do not hand hold pieces so small that your fingers will
go under the blade guard. Use jigs or fixtures to hold
the work and keep your hands away from the blade.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a
sudden slip could cause fingers or hand to move into
the blade.

• Don’t Overreach. Keep good footing and balance.
• Keep your face arid body to one side of the blade, out
of line with a possible thrown piece if the blade should
break. ■■■■. ■' ‘v'''r
