Supporting Large Panels/Securing
Workpiece (Fig. C–F)
Support large panels to minimize the risk of blade pinching
and kickback. Large panels tend to sag under their own
weight as shown in Figure C.
Supports must be placed under the panel on both sides, near
the line of cut and near the edge of the panel (Figure D).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury Never hold the
piece being cut with your hands or lay it across your
leg (Figure E).
Secure the workpiece to a stable platform as shown in
Figure F. It is important to support the work properly to
minimize body exposure, blade binding, or loss of control.
