Using the Workpiece Clamp – This clamp easily
secures a workpiece to the table or base.
1. Insert the clamp's knurled bar down into a clamp
post hole; there are two post holes located in the
base behind the fence. The knurled end must be
in the post at least 1/2".
2. Slide the clamp down until its rubber foot contacts
the workpiece.
3. Adjust the clamp height so it does not touch the
sliding fence.
4. Rotate the clamp's knob until the workpiece is
firmly held in place.
5. Move saw head up and down and forward and
back to be sure it clears the clamp.
WARNING

hand outside the "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.
