Long workpieces have a tendency to
tip over unless clamped down and
fully supported along their entire length.
Clamps
Quick-Action Clamp - This clamp easily secures a
workpiece in either of two (2) clamp holes behind the
fence (Figure 1).
• 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.
Figure 1. Quick-Action Clamp
Horizontal Clamp – The optional MS1221 Horizontal
Clamp 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
Note: Long pieces need extra 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 2). (See also Length Stop on
page 30.)
Extra-Long Base Extension Rods – The optional
MS1229 Base Extension Kit allow the base exten-
sions to extend out to 50-1/2”. Even after these
longer rods are installed, the base extensions can be
fully retracted for transportation and storage.

Blocks - The base height (3-3/4") is designed to
match the standard lumber of two 2x’s and one 1x.
Boards of these thicknesses can be used to create
auxiliary support extensions for long workpieces
(Figure 3).
