CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (FIG. DD)
I_WARNING
To avoid injury from materials being thrown, always
unplug the saw to avoid accidental starting and
remove small pieces of material from the table
cavity.
Before cutting a workpiece, check to make sure it is not
bowed. If it is bowed, the workpiece must be positioned
and cut as illustrated. Do not position the workpiece
incorrectly or try to cut the workpiece without the support
of the fence. This will cause the blade to bind and could
result in personal injury.

AUXILARY WOOD FENCE (FIG. FF)
When making multiple or repetitive cuts that result in
cut-off pieces of one inch or less, it is possible for the
saw blade to catch the cut-off piece and throw it out of
the saw or into the blade guard and housing, possibly
causing damage or injury. To minimize this an auxiliary
wood fence can be mounted to your saw.
Holes are provided in the saw fence to attach an
auxiliary wood fence (this provides additional depth
of cut). This fence should be constructed of straight
auxiliary wood approximately 3/4 in. thick by 1-1/2 in.
high by 20 in. long. Attach the wood fence securely
and make a full depth cut to make a blade slot. Check
for interference between the wood fence and the lower
blade guard. Adjust if necessary.
