This video outlines some of them.
Miter saws consist of a large spinning blade that is pulled down to make clean accurate cuts.
These cuts can be done at 45 degree angles or less very quickly, hence the term miter.
Before making your cuts youll want to wear proper personal safety gear, includingeye and hearing protection.
Avoid loose fitting clothes that could get caught.
Your workspace should be clear of distractions and your miter saw should have plenty of clearance around it.
You definitely dont want to (or want someone else to) bump into it during operation.
Start the blade spinning before you bring it down into the wood.
That way by the time you make contact, the blade should be spinning at maximum speed.
Keep a steady, but firm hand on the saw.
Keep your hands and arms as far away from the blade as possible.
Always use a sharp saw blade and check that your saw is equipped with the proper manufacturer-installed blade guards.
