Failure to do so may result in seriouspersonal injury and cause damage to the tool and/orthe workpiece.WARNING: When cutting a workpiece that islonger than the support base of the saw, sup-port the entire length of the material beyond thesupport base and at the same height to keep thematerial level. Proper workpiece support helps toavoid blade pinch and possible kickback which mayresult in serious personal injury. Do not rely solely onthe vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure theworkpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support work-piece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch andpossible KICKBACK.►Fig.37: 1. Support 2.
