SUPPORTING LONG WORKPIECES (Fig.11a)

Long workpieces require extra

supports. The supports should be

placed along the workpiece so it

does not sag. The support should

allow the workpiece to lay ﬂat on

the base of the saw and work table

during the cutting operation. Use

the hold down clamp to secure the

workpiece.

CAUTION: NEVER use another person as an additional support for a work-

piece that is longer or wider than the basic saw table, or to help feed, sup-

port, or pull the workpiece.

WARNING: When using the hold down clamp included or a C-clamp (sold

separately) to secure the workpiece, clamp the workpiece on one side of the

blade ONLY. The workpiece MUST remain unclamped on the other side of

the blade to prevent the blade from binding in the workpiece. The workpiece

binding the blade will cause the motor to stall and cause kickback, resulting

in possible serious injury.

USE THE FENCE AND HOLD DOWN CLAMP (Fig.12)

Align the workpiece ﬂush against

the fence to provide a straight

path for the saw blade. This will

help eliminate the tendency for the

blade teeth to bind.

The hold down clamp ﬁts into

either clamp mounting hole left

or right, on the back of the fence.

Clamp the workpiece to the miter

table securely. The fence and

the hold down clamp should both

be used as a support for miter,

bevel and compound cuts. The hold down clamp can secure the workpiece

horizontally.
