SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES

"See Figure 31.

Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports should be placed along the workpiece so it does not sag. The support should let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and work table during the cutting operation. Usa the optional work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workplace.

WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, always keep your hands outside the no hands

zone; at least 3 in. from blade. Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without holding workpiece against the fence). The blade could grab the workpiece if it slips or twists.
