"When croocutting, the saw should always be started while in back of the front fence---and should be returned there before the work is removed. Never feed work to the (stationary) blade for crosscutting as the blade will"hog" the work unless it is against the fence."
Ripping ".... feed work to the blade along the fence-- from your left to right (never from right to left)."
Or so says the good book.... Now get out there and be safe.
