Clamps
Using the Workpiece Clamp – This clamp easily secures a workpiece to the table or base.
1.Insert the clamp’s knurled bar down into a clamp post hole; there are two post holes located in the base behind the fence. The knurled end must be in the post at least 1/2".
2.Slide the clamp down until its rubber foot con- tacts the workpiece.
3.Adjust the clamp height so it does not touch the sliding fence.
4.Rotate the clamp’s knob until the workpiece is firmly held in place (See Figure 25).
5.Move saw head up and down and forward and back to be sure it clears the clamp.
There may be extreme com- pound cuts where clamp cannot be used. Support workpiece with your hand out-
side the “No Hands” zone. Do not try to cut short pieces that cannot be clamped and cause your hand to be in the “No Hands” zone.
