▶ Workpiece Support
▼ LONG WORKPIECE SUPPORT
Long workpieces have a
tendency to tip over
unless
clamped
down
and
properly
supported from underneath.
Operating
Base
Extensions
–
These
extensions provide extra workpiece support
and are especially useful when cutting long
workpieces. To reposition the extensions,
simply unlock the base extension lock levers,
reposition the extensions and relock the
levers (see Figure 35a). The left extension
lock lever tightens by rotating clockwise and
the right lock lever tightens by rotating
counterclockwise.

▼ ADDITIONAL WORKPIECE SUPPORT
Blocks
– Long pieces need extra support.
The base height (3-3/4") is designed to match
the standard lumber of two 2xs and one 1x.
Boards of these thicknesses can be used to
create auxiliary support extensions for long
workpieces (see Figure 35b).
