Work-piece Inspection

Before cutting any wood, make sure to
inspect the work-piece for nails, staples,
small pieces of stone or metal and any
other object which is dangerous to come on
contact with the blade.
If the wood contains any of these objects
and it comes in contact with the blade, the
object might fly and hit the operator or
seriously damage the blade.
cutting method always inspect your work-
piece carefully before cut and wear eye
protection.
Some woods with excessive twisting or
wrapping are un-stable while cutting and
are dangerous to cut because during
operation the work-piece can move un-
expectedly which either damage the blade
or hurt the operator.
If the wood is slightly cupped, make sure
the cupped face of the wood is held against
the fence. If the bowed side of the work-
piece is held against the fence, the work-
piece will move while cutting.
WARNING
The information above is just a guideline
for you to understand how to cut a work-
piece with slight cupping. If you are not
sure and do not have any experience in
cutting cupped stock, do not cut it.
Failure to follow these instructions might
bring personal injuries to the operator or
serious damage to the blade.
Some stock with large knots can damage
the blade and wet stock will give a poor
result.
