ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
6. 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 Face set to the desired width and on the RH side of
the machines table.
The mitre gauge is not required for this operation, and should
be stored safely off the machine for future use.
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 trained competent 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. (Fig. 37)
When the ripping width is greater than 300mm, and with care,
both hands can be used to guide/feed the material through the
saw. The operators left hand will be to the LH side of the saw
blade. The operators right hand will be close to the rip fence on
the RH side of the sawblade. Hands should never be in line with
the blade.
7. Bevel ripping
When bevel ripping material 150mm or narrower use the rip
fence on the RH side of the blade only.
8. Using the Sliding Carriage System
WARNING:
All 'setting up' operations should be undertaken
with the machine switched off, the blade stationary, and the
switch cover plate in the closed (safe) position.
Release the carriage by sliding the table latch (located at the
rear of the table and just to the LH of the blade) to the
unlocked position.
•

with the vertical locking handle.
•
Slide the Mitre Gauge into the inverted 'T' slot and lock in the
