Ryobi TS230 Cutting Warped Material, Alternate Method of Clamping Workpiece, See Figures 31

OPERATION

CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL

See Figures 31 and 32.

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 31.

If the warped material is positioned the wrong way, it will pinch the blade near the completion of the cut as shown in figure 33.

WARNING:

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

ALTERNATE METHOD OF CLAMPING WORKPIECE

See Figure 33.

When cutting workpieces that are too wide to be clamped with the work clamp provided, a C-clamp must be used. For example when cutting 2 in. x 6 in. boards.
