SUPPORTING LONG WORKPIECES
See Figures 40 - 41.
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 optional
work clamp or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece.
NOTE: When making a compound miter cut as shown
in figure 40, it may be necessary to adjust or remove the
sliding miter fence to insure proper clearance prior to mak-
ing the cut.
