ACCESSORIES

■Tighten the wing screw to secure the stop block to the table extension.

■Make a test cut in scrap material and measure the length of the workpiece.

■Unplug the saw and make any necessary adjust- ments.

INSTALLING THE WORK CLAMP

See Figure 28.

The work clamp provides greater control by clamping the workpiece to the fence or the saw table. It also prevents the workpiece from creeping toward the saw blade. This is very helpful when cutting compound miters.

Depending on the cutting operation and the size of the workpiece, it may be necessary to use a C-clamp instead of the work clamp to secure the workpiece prior to making the cut.

WARNING:

In some operations, the work clamp assembly may interfere with the operation of the blade guard as- sembly. Always make sure there is no interference with the blade guard prior to beginning any cutting operation to reduce the risk of serious personal in- jury.

Follow these direction to install the work clamp.

■Place the shaft of the work clamp in either hole on the saw table base.

■Rotate the knob on the work clamp to move it in or out as needed.

WARNING:

When using any clamp with the stop block, install the clamp on the same side as the stop block. This will eliminate the possibility of trapping the workpiece, resulting in the saw blade and workpiece kicking up. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.
