Miter Saw Blades Large Material specific 10”, 12” and 14” sizes Ideal for Ceramic Tile, Porcelain, and Slate Cuts Metal Cuts wood and plastic

Safety Concerns Zero miter saw related deaths Hand and finger cuts Approximately 52,000 people nationwide injured by stationary power saws in 2001 83% of injuries to fingers 5% result in hospitalization Statistics not chop saw exclusive http://www.cpsc.gov/LIBRARY/FOIA/FOIA03/os/powersaw.pdf

Safety Concerns 98% of injuries occur to operator Other injuries include matter in eyes, ear injuries, and flying objects Awkwardness for left handed operators can result in injury

Safe Work Practices Work at a comfortable level Bolt to work bench to ensure stable and level working platform Do not use saw on the floor Do not cut small pieces as they may catch in blade Keep cords clear as they may be a tripping hazard

Safe Work Practices Operators should always wear safety glasses under a full face shield. Gloves, loose clothing, jewelry, or any dangling objects including long hair should not be worn as they may catch in the rotating parts of the saw.

Safe Work Practices Use only the recommended RPM and sizes of blades. Regularly check and tighten the blade and the blade-attachment mechanism. Use ring test for blade continuity If it rings clear then blade is free of cracks

Safe Work Practices All guards must be in place and operating. Unplug power when making repairs. Clean the lower guard frequently to help visibility and movement.

Safe Work Practices Check cutting stock for nails and impurities Nails may damage blade Impurities may cause stock to splinter or shatter Always wear proper ear protection,

Safe Work Practices Hold or clamp all material securely against the fence when cutting. Do not perform operations freehand. Long material should be supported at the same height as the saw table. Never place hands or fingers in the path of the blade or reach in back of the fence.

Safe Work Practices NEVER CROSS HANDS!!! Do not hold short end of cutting stock Reset miter if the angle requires
