Explanation:

1. After a cut is finished and before the blade stops rotating, holding it in the down - position is a safety measure to prevent accidental contact with the still - rotating blade.
2. When using a motorized miter saw outside, connecting it to a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protects against electrical shock due to outdoor electrical conditions.
3. Clamping the stock to the table helps keep the material stable and prevents the blade from binding when cutting warped, bowed, or long stock.
4. It is safe to remove wood scraps from the cutting zone when the saw is off and the hand is not on the Off/On switch to avoid accidental start - up and injury.

Answer:

1. b. Hold it in the down position.
2. d. Connect the saw to a ground fault circuit interrupter(GFCI).
3. a. Clamp the stock to the table.
4. c. While the saw is off and the hand is not on the Off/On switch.
