SUPPORTING LARGE PANELS / SECURING WORKPIECE
Support large panels to minimize the risk of
blade pinching and kickback. Large panels
tend to sag under their own weight as shown
in figure E.
Supports must be placed under the panel on
both sides, near the line of cut and near the
edge of the panel (figure F).
Never hold piece being cut in your hands or
across your leg (figure G).
Secure the workpiece to a stable platform as
shown in figure H. It is important to support
the work properly to minimize body
exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
