RIPPING is known as 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 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.
Position wider portion of the workpiece on side of
the fence.
When ripping LONG BOARDS or LARGE
PANELS, always use an auxiliary work support
(Fig. 55).
BEVEL RIPPING
When bevel ripping material 6" or narrower, use
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 in-
terfere 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. 55).
When "WIDTH OF RIP" is 2" to 6" wide USE THE
PUSH STICK to feed the work (Fig. 56).
When WIDTH OF RIP is NARROWER than 2" the
Push Stick CANNOT be used because the guard
will interfere ... USE the AUXILIARY FENCE, and
PUSH BLOCK.
Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence with two "C"
clamps (Fig. 57).
Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is ap-
prox. 1" from the front edge of the table. Con-
tinue to feed using the PUSH BLOCK on top of
auxiliary fence UNTIL THE CUT IS COM PLETE
(Fig. 58).
