Workpiece Clamp Installation

The workpiece clamp is used to help hold the workpiece in the correct cutting posi- tion. It may be used on either the left side of the miter saw or the right side. Before turning the saw on make sure the work- piece clamp does not interfere with the cutting action of the saw.
