OPERATION
4. SET UP WORKPIECE
Place the workpiece flat on the table with one edge securely
against the fence (Fig. 15).
Warped Boards:
If the board is warped, place the concave
side against the table (Fig. 16).
CAUTION:
The board could
break and jam the blade if the convex side is placed against
the table.
Long Boards:
When cutting long workpieces, support the
opposite end of the material with the support bars, a roller
stand, or a work surface that is level with the saw table.
5. SECURE WORKPIECE
Secure the workpiece with the hold-down clamp on the
fixed table whenever possible to prevent the material from
moving during the cutting operations. See section, "Install-
ing the Clamp Assembly" on page 13.
6. CHECK BEFORE OPERATION
• Check that the miter table does not rotate and the saw
arm does not bevel.
• Check that the workpiece is fully supported, against the
fence and securely clamped down.
• Check that you have the proper blade for the material
you are cutting.
• Without turning on the saw, perform a dry run of the
cutting operation to check that nothing is obstructing
the path of the saw.
