Cutting Bowed Material
Before cutting a workpieee, check to make sure it is
not bowed. If it is bowed the workpiece must be
positioned and cut as illustrated. Do not position work-
piece incorrectly or try to cut the workpiece without the
support of the fence. This will cause pinching of the
workpiece on the blade. The workpiece could suddenly
jump or move and your hand could hit the blade.
CORRECT
INCORRECT
Workpiece Support
Long pieces need extra supports. The supports should
be placed along the workpiece so the workpiece does
not sag and your hand holding the workpiece is
positioned 4" or more from the blade path. The support
should let the workpiece lie flat on the base and work
table during the cutting operation.
