CUTTING BOWED MATERIAL (FIG. U)
A bowed workpiece must be positioned against the
fence and secured with a clamping device before
cutting. Do not position workpiece incorrectly or try to
cut the workpiece without the support of the fence. This
will cause the blade to bind and could result in personal
injury.
