Operating Instructions

Cutting Large Sheets
Large sheets and long boards sag or bend,
depending on support. If you attempt to
cut without leveling and properly
supporting the piece, the blade will tend to
bind, causing KICK-BACK and extra load on
the motor (Fig. 31).
Whether or not a track is being used to
WRONG
make the cut, support the panel or board
close to the cut, as shown in Fig. 32. Be
sure to set the depth of the cut so that you
cut through the sheet or board only and
not the table or work bench. The two-by-

Fig. 32

fours used to raise and support the work
should be positioned so that the broadest
sides support the work and rest on the
table or bench. Do not support the work
with the narrow sides as this is an
unsteady arrangement. If the sheet or
board to be cut is too large for a table or
work bench, use the supporting two-by-
fours on the floor and secure.
