2. Rip cutting
Rip cutting is cutting along the length of a piece of material
rather than across it.
Rip cutting should always be done with the Rip Fence set to the
desired width and on the RH side of the machines table.
Note: Check that the rip fence is locked in position and is
parallel to the saw blade. Check that the riving knife is properly
aligned with the saw blade.
When ripping small section material a push stick should be
used to feed/guide the final 300mm of the material past the
blade. A push stick should always be used when making cuts of
less than 300mm.
When ripping long boards or large panels always use a remote
work support or enlist competent trained help.
Feed the workpiece through the saw keeping it indexed against
the rip fence. Use smooth, steady pressure and employ a push
stick if necessary. Hands should never be in line with the blade.
