12.11 SUPPORTING LONG WORKPIECES
See Figure 37.
Use extra supports for long workpieces. Supports should be placed along the length of the workpiece so it does not sag.
The supports should let the workpiece lie flat on the frame and the work table during cutting. Use a vice or G-clamp to hold
the workpiece.
WARNING: To avoid serious personal injury, keep your hands outside the "keep hands clear" zone, at least 80 mm
from the blade. Never cut freehand (without holding the workpiece against the fence). The blade could jam in the
workpiece if it slips or twists.
