OPERATION
CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL
See Figure 15.
When cutting warped material, always make sure it is
positioned on the miter table with the convex side
against the fence. If the warped material is positioned
the wrong way, it will pinch the blade near the completion
of the cut.
WARNING:
To avoid a kickback and to avoid serious personal
injury, never position the concave edge of bowed or
warped material against the fence.

SUPPORTING LONG AND WIDE
WORKPIECES
LONG WORKPIECES
See Figure 16.
Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports should
be placed along the workpiece so it does not sag. The
support should let the workpiece lay flat on the base of
the saw during the cutting operation. Use the work clamp
or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece.
WIDE WORKPIECES
See Figure 17.
When cutting workpieces that are too wide to clamp with
the work clamp, e.g., 2 in. x 6 in. (50.8 mm x 152.4 mm),
use a C-clamp. Always clamp wide workpieces.
