CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (FIG. BB)

!WARNING

To avoid injury from materials being thrown, always unplug the saw

to avoid accidental starting and remove small pieces of material from the table cavity.

The table insert may be removed for this purpose, but always reattach table insert prior to performing a cutting operation.

A bowed workpiece must be positioned against the fence and secured with

a clamping device as shown before cutting. Do not position workpiece incorrectly or try to cut the workpiece without the support of the fence. This will cause the blade to bind and could result in personal injury.
