Bevel Ripping - Skil TS6307-00 Guide D'utilisation

11. Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material that may become TRAPPED inside the
blade guard while the saw is RUNNING.THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR HANDS or
cause a KICKBACK. Turn the saw OFF and disconnect the power source. After the blade
has stopped turning, lift the guard and remove the piece.
12. If the workpiece is warped, place the CONCAVE side DOWN. This will prevent it from
rocking while it is being ripped.
Rip Fence Auxiliary Facing
When using dado accessories, an auxiliary
facing board should be used. This will help
prevent damage to the aluminum fence. The
facing should be made of 3/4 inch thick wood
(Fig. 46).
Parts Required:
3/4" thick wood board (solid or plywood) cut
•
to size.
Two (2) clamps.
•
The facing is made to the same height (3-1/8")
•
as the fence and can work with the blade
guard system in place when moving the
fence to contact the blade. Use two clamps
to clamp the 3/4 inch thick wood board to the rip fence.
NOTE: The auxiliary facing board, should also be used when cutting material less than 3/16" thick.
Ripping
RIPPING is cutting a piece of wood with the
grain, or lengthwise. This is done using the rip
fence. Position the fence to the desired WIDTH
OF RIP and lock it in place. Before starting to
rip, be sure that:
A. Rip Fence is parallel to saw blade.
B. Riving knife is properly aligned with saw
blade.
C. Anti-kickback pawls are functioning
properly.
Position the wider portion of the workpiece
on the side of the fence. When ripping LONG
BOARDS or LARGE PANELS, always use an
auxiliary work support (Fig. 47).

Bevel Ripping

Avoid bevel ripping with the fence on the left side when possible. When bevel ripping material
6" or narrower, use the fence on the right side of the blade ONLY. This will provide more space
between the fence and the sawblade for use of a push stick. If the fence is mounted to the left,
the sawblade guard may interfere with proper use of a push stick.
When "WIDTH OF RIP" is 6" and WIDER use your RIGHT hand to feed the workpiece, use
LEFT hand ONLY to guide the workpiece, do not FEED the workpiece with the left hand
(Fig. 47).
