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 33.
If the warped material is positioned the wrong way as
shown in figure 34, it will pinch the blade near the
completion of the cut.
_lh WARNING: To avoid a kickback and to avoid
serious personal injury, never position the
concave edge of bowed or warped material
against the fence.
