SUPPORT LONG WORKPIECES
Long workpieces require extra supports.
The supports should be placed along the
workpiece so it does not sag. The support
should allow the workpiece to lay flat on the
base of the saw and work table during the
cutting operation. Use the work clamp or a
C-clamp to secure the workpiece.
i_WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, ALWAYS keep your hands outside the
"no hands zone" (red lines); at least 3 inches from blade. Also, NEVER perform any cutting
operation "freehand" (i.e. without holding workpiece against the fence); the blade could grab
the workpiece, causing it to slip and twist.
