Long workpieces have a tendency to
tip over unless clamped down and
properly supported from underneath.
Clamps
Workpiece Clamp - This clamp easily secures a
workpiece in any of four (4) clamp holes behind the
fence (Figure 20).
—
Insert clamp post into clamp hole.
—
Loosen wing nut and adjust arm to proper height,
and securely tighten wing nut.
—
Rotate screw knob of the clamp clockwise to
tighten, counter-clockwise to loosen.
—
Move the head assembly to check clearance
with clamp.
There may be extreme compound
cuts where clamp cannot be used.
Support workpiece with hand outside No Hands Zone.
Do not try to cut short pieces that cannot be
clamped and cause your hand to be in the No Hands
Zone.
Figure 20. Workpiece Clamp
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 (3-3/4") is designed to match the standard
lumber of two 2x’s and one 1x. Boards of these thick-
nesses can be used to create auxiliary support exten-
sions for long workpieces (Figure 21).
Figure 21. Block Support
Extension Wing and Stock Stop - This attachment
(accessory #BA162) allows extra support for the
longer workpieces. Refer to the accessory instruction
sheet for details (Figure 22). See page 34 for a com-
plete accessory list.
