SUPPORTING LONG WORKPIECES
See Figures 39 - 40.
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 work clamp
or a C-clamp to secure the workpiece.
NOTE: When making a compound miter cut
as shown
in figure 39, it may be necessary to adjust or remove the
sliding miter fence to insure proper clearance prior to
making the cut.
