When cutting wide work pieces (such as nominal 2x8 boards), the boards must be clamped with the work piece clamp provided or a C-clamp (sold separately). The work piece clamp angle is adjustable in both horizontal and vertical axes. Horizontal adjustment: The work piece clamp can adjust left 90° to right 90° (Fig. 19b). Vertical adjustment: the work piece clamp has multiple quick stops for cutting base molding and crown molding. Rotate the work piece clamp to the desired angle. To release, press the clamp knob while rotating the work piece clamp (Fig. 19c). � WARNING: When using the work piece clamp included or a C-clamp (sold separately) to secure the work piece, clamp the work piece on one side of the blade only. The work piece must remain unclamped on the other side of the blade to prevent the blade from binding in the work piece. The work piece binding the blade will cause the motor to stall and cause kickback, resulting in possible serious injury.
