Cutting Warped Material; Alternate Method Of Clamping Workpiece - Ryobi TS230 Operator's Manual

CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL

See Figures 31 and 32.
When cutting warped material, always make sure it is
positioned on the miter table with the convex side against the
fence as shown in figure 31.
If the warped material is positioned the wrong way, it will
pinch the blade near the completion of the cut as shown in
figure 33.
WARNING:
To avoid a kickback and to avoid serious personal injury,
never position the concave edge of bowed/warped material
against the fence.
ALTERNATE METHOD OF CLAMPING
WORKPIECE
See Figure 33.
When cutting workpieces that are too wide to be clamped
with the work clamp provided, a C-clamp must be used. For
example when cutting 2 in. x 6 in. boards.
