To support long workpieces
(Fig . 36)
Long workpieces need extra supports.
Supports, roller stand, or a work surface that
is level with the saw table should be placed
to support the workpiece so it does not sag.
The support should allow the workpiece to lay
flat on the base of the saw and the miter table
during the cutting operation. Use the work
clamp, a C-clamp, or other suitable clamp to
secure the workpiece when possible.
Cutting warped material (Fig . 37a & 37b)
When cutting warped material, always make sure it is positioned on the miter table with the
convex side against the fence.
If the warped material is positioned in wrong way, it will pinch the blade near the completion of
the cut.
