Before cutting a workpiece to size
make trial cuts on pieces of scrap.
Always place a workpiece on the
saw table in such way that it cannot
tilt or rock (e.g. always place a
curved board on the table with the
convex side up).
When working long stock use suita-
ble supports, such as table rear or
side extensions (optional accesso-
ries).
To simplify repetitive cut-off work,
use a stock stop (optional acces-
sory).
Keep the surfaces of saw table and
supports clean – in particular,
remove resin residue with a suitable
Cleaning and Maintenance Spray
(optional accessory).
