table extension or as additional support. Un-
stable support for the workpiece can cause the
blade to bind or the workpiece to shift during
the cutting operation, causing you to contact
the spinning blade.
Operating Base Extensions – These extensions
provide extra workpiece support and are espe-
cially useful when cutting long workpieces. To
reposition the extensions, simply unlock the
base extension lock levers, reposition the ex-
tensions and relock the levers (see Figure 35).
The left extension lock lever tightens by rotating
clockwise and the right lock lever tightens by
rotating counterclockwise.
Additional Workpiece Support
Blocks – Long pieces need extra support. The
base height (3-3/4") is designed to match the
standard lumber of two 2xs and one 1x. Boards
of these thicknesses can be used to create aux-
iliary support extensions for long workpieces
(see Figure 36).

Be aware of the path of
the saw blade. Make a dry
run with the saw Off by conducting a simu-
lated cutting cycle, and observe the projected
path of the saw blade. Keep hands at least six

the saw blade.
