Ryobi TS1302 manual Cutting Warped Material, Clamping Wide Workpieces, Right, Wrong Wide Board

OPERATION

CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL

See Figures 26 and 27.

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 26.

If the warped material is positioned the wrong way as shown in figure 27, it will pinch the blade near the completion of the cut.

To avoid a kickback and to avoid serious personal injury, never position the concave edge of bowed or warped material against the fence.

CLAMPING WIDE WORKPIECES

See Figure 28.

When cutting wide workpieces that are too wide to be clamped with a work clamp, a C-clamp must be used. For example, when cutting 2 in. x 6 in. boards, they should be clamped with a C-clamp as shown in figure 28.
