CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL

See Figures 39 - 40.

When cutting warped material, always make sure it is positioned on the miter table with the convex side against the fence as shown in figure 39.

If the warped material is positioned the wrong way as shown in figure 40, it will pinch the blade near the comple- tion of the cut.
