CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (Fig. CC)
To avoid injury from materials being thrown, always
unplug the saw to avoid accidental starting and
remove small pieces of matedal from the table cavity.
The table insertmay be removed for this purpose, but
alwaysreattachtable insertpriorto performinga cutting
operation.
Before cutting a workpiece,
check to make sure it isnot
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 v_)rkpiece without the support of
the fence. This will cause the blade to bind and could result
in personal injury.

AUXlLARY WOOD FENCE (Fig, FF)
Holes are provided in the saw fence to attach an au×iliary
wood fence (this provides additional depth of cut). This
fence should be constructed of straight auxiliary wood
appro_mately 3/4 inch thick by 3 inches high by 20-1/2
inches 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'.
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 au_liary wood fence can be
mounted to your saw.
