Cutting Warped Material; Clamping Wide Workpieces - RIDGID R4231 Operator's Manual

CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL

See Figure 25.
When attempting to cut warped material, the CONVEX face
should be against the fence.
See Figure 26.
NEVER position a piece of warped material with the CONCAVE
face or edge against the fence. 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 X 12 inch, clamp the
workpiece to the work table using a work clamp
in Figure 27.
KEEP clamps away from the path of the
blade and blade guard assembly.
