Question

multiple choice 1 point
when cutting with a miter saw, where should your left hand be?
○ loosely holding the wood against the back fence, at least 4\ from the blade
○ behind your back
○ firmly holding the wood against the back fence, at least 4\ from the blade
○ firmly holding the wood piece against the back fence and up against the blade to guide it downward

Explanation:

Miter saw safety requires secure wood placement to prevent movement (firm hold, not loose) and keeping hands at least 4 inches from the blade to avoid injury. Holding near the blade or behind the back is unsafe; loose holding risks wood shifting.

Answer:

C. Firmly holding the wood against the back fence, at least 4" from the blade
