Workpiece Support
Long pieces need extra supports. The supports
should be placed along the workpiece so the work-
piece does not sag and your hand holding the work-
piece is positioned 4" or more from the blade path,
The support should let the workpiece lay flat on the
base and work table during the cutting operation
NOTE: When mounted on a large flat surface, the
miter saw table is 3 1/2" high. A finished 4x4 or a
supported 2x4 on edge can be used as work sup-
port extension.
