Failure to do so could result in the saw arm moving during the cut and cause serious personal injury.

There are two location holes (15) for a support arm on either side of the table. Loosen the lock knobs on the back of the base at the bottom. Ensure the support arms are fully inserted before using them to support the workpiece (Fig. 10). The material support arm locking knobs must be tightened to secure the support arms in position (Fig. 11).
