Measure (2) inches past the back feet of the saw or projecting brace which might be there. The arm of the saw should be sticking over the edge of the plywood. Check to make sure that the front feet of the saw and other parts of the saw are at least (2) inches on the plywood. Using a framing square, measure (9) inches from the front edge of the plywood to the fence of the saw. Place the miter saw on a sheet of plywood near the front edge.
