CUTTING WARPED MATERIAL

See Figures 32 - 33.

When cutting warped material, always make sure it is posi-
tioned on the miter table with the convex side against the 
fence as shown in figure 3.
If the warped material is positioned the wrong way as shown 
in

 

figure 33, it will pinch the blade near the completion of 

the cut.
