TIPS FOR CUTTING AND SUPPORTING WORKPIECES
CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL
When attempting to cut warped material, the CONVEX
face should be against the fence as shown in Figure 19.
Never position a piece of warped material with the
CONCAVE face or edge against the fence, as shown in
Figure 20. It will pinch the blade near the completion of
the cut.
To avoid a kickback and to avoid serious
personal injury, never position the
concave edge of bowed or warped material against the
fence.
CLAMPING WIDE WORKPIECES
When cutting wide work pieces, such as 2 in. x 6 in.,
clamp the workpiece to the work table using a C-clamp
(A) as shown in Figure 21.
Keep clamps away from the path of the
blade and blade guard assembly.
