Clamping Wide Workpieces - RIDGID R4121 Operator's Manual

OPERATION
SUPPORTING LONG WORKPIECES
See Figures 34 - 35.
Long workpieces need extra supports. Supports should be
placed along the workpiece so it does not sag. The support
should let the workpiece lay flat on the base of the saw and
miter table during the cutting operation. Use the work clamp
or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece.
NOTE: When making a compound miter cut
in figure 34, it may be necessary to adjust or
sliding miter fence to insure proper clearance prior to
making the cut.
