making a Rip cut
See figure 20.
1. Ensure switch is at the "off" position and saw assembly
is in the locked position.
2. Position the fence to the desired width of rip and lock in
place. Before starting to rip, be sure:
a. Rip Fence is parallel to saw blade.
b. Riving Knife is properly aligned with saw blade.
c. Anti-kickback pawls are functioning properly.
3. Turn on the saw and begin to feed the wood onto the
blade, making sure that the edge of the wood is against
the rip fence.
Stay to the side of the workpiece as you feed it onto the
saw to avoid kickback.
Use the push stick to complete the cut past the saw
blade. The use of a pushstick is essential in helping to
ensure safety while using your saw.
Feed the wood into the blade at a smooth and consistent
speed. Keep the wood moving, never stopping as you
make the cut, since this could result in an uneven and
choppy cut.
4. Turn off the saw after the piece of wood has been cut
through. Allow the saw blade to stop completely before
removing the pieces of wood.
