USING THE RIP FENCE

RIPPING, BEVEL RIPPING, RESAWING AND
RABBETING are performed using the RIP
FENCE together with the AUXILIARY FENCE /
WORK SUPPORT, PUSH STICK OR PUSH
BLOCK.
For your own safety, always
observe the following safety
precautions in addition to the safety instruc- WARNING
tions on Pages 3, 4, 5 & 6.
1. Never make these cuts FREEHAND (without
using the rip fence or auxiliary devices when re-
quired) because the blade could bind in the cut
and cause a KICKBACK.
2. Always lock the rip fence securely when in use.
3. Remove miter gauge from table during any op-
erations which utilize the rip fence.
4. Make sure blade guard is installed for all
through sawing type cuts. Replace the guard
IMMEDIATELY following completion of resaw-
ing, rabbeting, or dadoing operations.
Frequently check the action of the ANTIKICK-
BACK PAWLS by passing the workpiece along-
side of the spreader while saw is OFF.
Pull the workpiece TOWARD you. If the PAWLS
do not DIG into the workpiece and HOLD it, the
pawls must be REPLACED or SHARPENED.
(See "Maintenance" on page 37).
5. Have blade extend approximately 1/8" above
top of work piece. Additional blade exposure
would increase the hazard potential.
6. Do not stand directly in front of the blade in case
of a KICKBACK. Stand to either side of the
blade.
7. Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of
the path of the blade.
8. If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN
SWITCH OFF before attempting to free the
blade.
9. Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull
the work piece through the cut, to support long
or heavy workpieces, to remove small cut-off
pieces of material, or FOR ANY OTHER
REASON.
10. Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off mate-
rial from the table. REMOVE them by push-
ing them OFF the table with a long stick.
Otherwise they could be thrown back at you
by the rear of the blade.
11. Do not remove small pieces of cut-off mate-
rial 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 power source. After the blade
has stopped turning, lift the guard and re-
move the piece.
12. If 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 fac-
ing 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. 54).
Parts Required:
3/4" thick wood board (solid or plywood) cut
to size.
Two (2) clamps.
The facing is made to the same height (2-3/4")
as the fence and can work with the blade guard
system in place when moving the fence to con-
tact 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.
