TO HELP MAINTAIN CONTROL: • Always support your workpiece near the cut. • Support your workpiece so the cut will be on yo=;r left. • Clamp your workpiece so it will not move during the cut. Place your workpiece with its good side down. Note: The good side is the side on which appearance is important.
