Basic Saw Operations

Workpiece Support

Long workpieces have a tendency to

tip over unless clamped down and

properly supported from underneath•

Clamps

Quick-Action Clamp - This clamp easily secures a

workpiece in either of two (2) clamp holes behind the

fence (Figure 19).

• Minimum of 1/2" of knurl must engage clamp post

to be effective•

• Adjust screw if necessary to clear fence or for large

differences in wood heights•

• With clamp in open (lever raised) position, insert

clamp into clamp post until rubber foot comes into

contact with material•

• Press down on lever to tighten clamp•

• Move the head assembly to check clearance with

clamp•

• Pull up on lever to release 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.

Horizontal Clamp- The optional MS1221 Horizontal

Clamp and crown stop can be mounted on either side

of the tool and holds the workpiece firmly against the

fence•

Conventional Clamps - and other hold down

devices can be used to hold the workpiece firmly

against the table and the fence•

Long workpiece support

Sliding Base Extensions - These extensions pro-

vide extra workpiece support and are especially use-

ful when cutting long workpieces. To reposition the

extensions, simply unlock the Base Extension

Clamping Levers, reposition the extensions, and re-

lock the levers (Figure 20). (See also Length Stop on

page 27.)

Extra-Long Base Extension Rods - The optional

MS1222 Base Extension Kit allow the 4412's base

extensions to extend out to 60". Even after these

longer rods are installed on the 4412, the base exten-

sions can be fully retracted for transportation and

storage.

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 lx. Boards of these thick-

nesses can be used to create auxiliary support exten-

sions for long workpieces (Figure 21).
