tate the clamp handle

Long Workpiece Support
Long workpieces have a ten-
dency to tip over unless
clamped down and properly supported from un-
derneath.
Sliding base extension
10
provides extra workpiece
support and is especially useful when cutting long
workpieces. To reposition the extension, simply un-
lock the base extension lock lever
11
, reposition the
extension
10
and lock the lever
11
(Fig. 12). The lock
lever tightens by rotating clockwise (pulling up).
Additional Workpiece Support
Blocks
– Long pieces need extra support. The
base height is 2 5/8” (66 mm). Cut two 2x4 pieces
to 2 5/8" in length and fasten together. Boards of
these thickness and height can be used to create
auxiliary support extensions for long workpieces.
Clamps
– Other hold-down devices such as C-
clamps can be used to hold the workpiece firmly
against the table and the fence. Make sure the
clamps are clear of the cutting path.
Always adjust the sliding
base extension to support
workpiece.
Unsupported workpiece can move out
of position during cut and cause injury and/or tol
damage.
