CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (FIG. X)
A bowed workpiece must be positioned against the fence and
secured with a clamping device before cutting. Do not position
workpiece incorrectly or try to cut the workpiece without the sup-
port of the fence. This will cause the blade to bind and could re-
sult in personal injury.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT (FIG. Y)
Long pieces need extra support. The support should be placed
under the workpiece. Keep your hand holding the workpiece po-
sitioned 6-3/4 inches or more away from the blade. The support
must let the workpiece lay flat on the work table during the cutting
operation.
NOTE: When mounted on a flat surface, the miter saw table is
3-1/4 inches high.
