    Your cuts are too close to the edge of the board. It thinks it won't have enough material left for the rollers to press down on. If you're going to cut it on a sled, no problem. Otherwise, you need to decide if your willing to take the chance of breaking a bit or ruining the piece, and if not, use a slightly wider and longer board.

    Rules I follow that seem to work: Stay 1/2" from the top edge on cut throughs (except on a sled), If your actual board will have the requisite extra 7" ignore the left edge warning, If you have left 1/2" uncut along the top and near the bottom edge, ignore the cuts across the board warning.
