4.When making repetitive cuts shorter than 6 inches, clamp a block ofwood 2 inches long to the table to act as a length stop. Do not clamp directly to the bottom edge of the table because the "swivel" of the clamp will not grip properly. Place a small block of wood between the bottom edge of the table and the "C" clamp,

CAUTION: When clamping the block, make sure that the end of the block Is well In front of the

sawblade. Be sure it is clamped securely.

before continuing.
