Preparing for Saw Operations

Workpiece Support

!WARNING long workpieces have a tendency to tip over unless

clamped down and properly supported from underneath.

Operating Base Extensions – These extensions provide extra workpiece support and are especially useful when cutting long workpieces. To reposition the extensions, simply unlock the base extension lock levers, reposition the extensions and relock the levers (see Figure 35). The left extension lock lever tightens by rotating clockwise and the right lock lever tightens by rotating counterclockwise.

Additional Workpiece Support

Blocks – Long pieces need extra support. The base height (3-3/4") is designed to match the standard lumber of two 2xs and one 1x. Boards of these thicknesses can be used to create auxiliary support extensions for long workpieces (see Figure 36).
