Check out page 18 of the manual (link above)... mentions a gravity hook (part number GRGH-040)... should be relatively easily made... or $17 if you are lazy.
As for swapping sides, depends on how you configure... could be a simple case of flipping 540°... and that'll give your wrist exercise. Alternatively wait for a day or two for my next review... currentlty being drafted after a few zzzzs.... 1:15am here.
If your first cut is too short... Take the second cut from the longer end... LBD
