==Safety First==
[[File:Safety First HD2.png|left|150px]]
Here are some safety instructions for the {{PAGENAME}}. Remember... SAFETY FIRST!!!
* Never place your hand below the blade. If, for some reason, the blade were to drop, significant injury could occur.
* Take care when loading stock that it is clamped firmly and set up so that as many of the teeth can be in contact with the material as possible. For rectangular stock this would mean placing the long side parallel with the floor. Doing these things will protect the blade from damage and reduce the chance of the material coming loose during a cut.
* After making a cut, the material will have a sharp burr and may be hot to the touch. Let the part cool and remove the burr with a file or a deburring tool.
* Before making a large cut, ask the shop supervisor to wax the blade.
* If the machine is knocking, stop the machine and inform the shop supervisor. There may be a metal chip clogging the blade.
