SUPPORTING LONG WORKPIECES

See Figures 43 - 44.
Long workpieces need extra support. 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
in figure 43, it may be necessary to adjust or
sliding miter fence to ensure proper clearance prior to
making the cut.
