10. Tips and Tricks

For long work pieces use suitable supports on both sides of the machine so that the work pieces do not bend.

Use an auxiliary fence when cutting small work pieces.

When cutting warped or bent work pieces, make sure that you place the work piece so that the convex side (i.e. the outer side of the bow) is against the fence.

Do not cut any work piece while it is standing on edge; always place it flat on the rotating table.

Keep all surfaces clean. In particu- lar, remove resin residue with a clean cloth.
