Basic Saw Operations
Workpiece Support
Long workpieces have a tendency to tip
over unless clamped down and properly
supported from underneath.
Clamps
Vertical Clamp - This clamp easily secures a workpiece in
any of four (4) clamp holes behind the fence (Figure 17).
1. Insert clamp post into clamp hole 1.
2. Loosen wing nut
2 and adjust arm to proper height,
and securely tighten wing nut.
3. Rotate screw knob
3 of the clamp clockwise to
tighten, counter-clockwise to loosen.
4. Move the head assembly to check clearance with
clamp.
There may be extreme compound cuts
where supplied clamp cannot be used.
Support with hand outside No Hands Zone or use
conventional clamps.
Do not try to cut short pieces that
cannot be clamped and cause your hand to be in the No
Hands Zone. Do not position clamp over an unsupported
portion of the workpiece (Figure 18 & 19).
Conventional Clamps and other hold down devices can be
used to hold the workpiece firmly against the table and the
fence.
Long Workpiece Support
Blocks - Long pieces need extra support. The base height is
3-3/16”. Boards of these thicknesses can be used to create
auxiliary support for extensions for long workpieces,
Extension Rails 4 and Extension table 5– These
attachments allow extra support for longer workpieces. Refer
to the instructions on page 50 for extension table instructions
(Figure 19)
To assembly extension rails
4, push rail 4 into accessory
extension holes on either side of the base until rail hits the
hard stop. Secure the rails by tightening the screw
6 on top
of the base (Figure 20)
