To perform resawing operations:
1.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!
2.Remove the standard table insert and the blade guard/splitter, and install the riving knife. Install a ripping blade and a zero clear- ance table insert. Then lower the blade below the table surface.
3.Attach the auxiliary fence to the standard fence and set it to the desired width.
Note: Account for blade kerf, the rough cut made by the blade, and the inaccuracy of the fence scale when the auxiliary fence is installed when figuring out the correct width.
4.Place the workpiece against the fence and slide the resaw barrier against the workpiece. Now clamp the resaw barrier to the top of the table saw (see Figure 57).
5.Slide the workpiece over the blade to make sure it moves smoothly.
6.Raise the blade approximately an inch, or close to half the height of the workpiece (Figure 57), whichever is less.
The danger of kickback increases relative to the depth of a cut. Reduce the risk of kick- back by making multiple passes to achieve the desired depth of cut. Failure to follow these warnings could result in serious per- sonal injury.
Always use push sticks or push paddles to increase safety and control during opera- tions which require that the blade guard and splitter must be removed from the saw. ALWAYS replace the blade guard after resawing is complete.
7.Plug in the table saw, turn it ON, and use a push stick to feed the workpiece through the blade using a slow, steady feed rate.
8.Flip the workpiece end for end, keeping the same side against the fence, and run the workpiece through the blade.
9.Repeat Steps

10.Turn OFF the table saw, then separate the parts of the workpiece and hand plane the remaining ridge.
11.When finished resawing, remove the resaw barrier and auxiliary fence and re-install the blade guard/splitter or riving knife and stan- dard table insert.
