Securing workpiece

WARNING:
It is extremely important to always
secure the workpiece correctly with the proper
type of vise. Failure to do so may result in serious
personal injury and cause damage to the tool and/or
the workpiece.
WARNING:
When cutting a workpiece that
is longer than the support base of the saw, sup-
port the entire length of the material beyond the
support base and at the same height to keep the
material level. Proper workpiece support helps to
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury. Do not rely solely on
the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the
workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support work-
piece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.

that no part of the tool, especially the blade, con-
tacts the upper and lower fences when fully low-
ering and raising the handle in any position and
while moving the carriage through its full range
of travel. If the tool or blade makes contact with
the fence this may result in kickback or unexpected
movement of the material and serious personal injury.
Use upper fences to support the material higher than
the lower fences. Loosen the clamping screw so that
the upper fences slide in and out over the lower fences.
Reposition the fences and then tighten the screw.
