Ryobi TS1344L manual To Support Long Workpieces

Page 23

OPERATION

Grasp the stock firmly with one hand and secure it against

the fence. Use the optional work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece when possible.

 Before turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the cutting operation just to make sure that no problems will occur when the cut is made.

 Grasp the saw handle firmly then squeeze the switch trigger. Allow several seconds for the blade to reach maximum speed.

 Slowly lower the blade into and through the workpiece.

 Release the switch trigger and allow the saw blade to stop rotating before raising the blade out of workpiece. Wait until the electric brake stops blade from turning before removing the workpiece from miter table.

TO SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES

See Figure 28.

Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports should be placed along the workpiece so it does not sag. The support should let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and work table during the cutting operation. Use the optional work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece.
