STACK
CUTTING
Gee Fi ure 16,
After becoming well acquainted with your saw through
practice and experience, you may wish to try stack
cutting. Stack cutting may be used when several
identical shapes need to be cut. Several pieces of
wood may be stacked on top and secured to each
other before cutting. The wood pieces may be joined
together by placing double sided tape between each
piece or by wrapping masking tape around the
comers or ends of the stacked wood. You must attach
the stacked pieces of wood to each other so they will
-move on the table as a single piece of material.
,_
WARNING:
To avoid possible, serious personal
injury, do not cut more than one loose piece of
material at a time.

aggressive cutting, and the motor stalls, turn off
the power switch. Remove wood. Turn sew back
on to resume cutting.
