Failure to do so is quite dangerous as the saw blade grabs the material and violently jerks it toward the fence. Fences come in different heights and some even slide out to extend support for longer pieces.
If you plan to cut tall crown molding or other tall stock, opt for taller fences for maximum support.

Most miter saws have material clamps built-in. We may never know. The handiest accessory for a miter saw is a stand. Not only does it hold the saw securely which limits vibration, but it has extendable material supports for cutting long stock. Some even have material stops which eliminate the need to mark multiple boards for the same cut — just set the stop and cut. We recommend springing for the miter saw stand if you can. Pro Tip: The best miter saws stands include gravity-rise stands which roll easily and setup quickly.
So safety, safety, safety when it comes to any tool, especially those like the miter saw with an exposed, spinning blade.
Always wear eye protection and hearing protection. Once you release the trigger, the blade brake should stop the blade within a few seconds — ideally a lot sooner than that. It protects you from the blade as it exposes enough of it to make the cut. Once you decide what to get, be sure you calibrate it before anything else. Tell us about it in the comments below!

Hold the material tight to the fence and down against the table with one hand, and work the saw with the other. Push the saw blade steadily down into the wood. With a saw that slides, pull it all the way forward before you lower it into the wood and push to cut so the saw's force works with you to press the wood in and down.
Never pull the blade through the wood. Cutting Wide Boards When the piece you're cutting is too wide for the saw but still less than twice the width, you can cut it in two passes. Carefully cut the piece as far as the blade will reach, then flip it over and repeat the cut from the opposite edge.
Cutting Several Pieces the Same Length For balusters, studs, and other lumber that has to be cut to equal lengths, fasten a stop block to the fence. Secure the block to the fence with screws or, better yet, adjustable locking pliers, which tighten easily and hold securely.
Position the stop block slightly above the table surface to make room for sawdust to escape.
