10.Approximately 5 seconds after the arbor is started, press the FEED MOTOR START button. The conveyor track should start and run smoothly.
Never attempt to rip a board that does not have one perfectly straight edge. Always guide the straight edge of the board against the rip fence. Failure to do this could result in kickback and serious personal injury.
Placing hands or fingers under the workpiece could cause them to be pulled into the rip saw, causing serious personal inju- ry. Do not place hands or fingers under the workpiece.
Never stand directly behind the workpiece while feeding it through the rip saw. Stand to the left or right of the workpiece to avoid serious personal injury in the event of kick- back.
12.Push the workpiece into the saw to perform the cutting operation (Figure 23).
—If the saw is not cutting completely through to the bottom face of the workpiece, the blade needs to be lowered. Only lower the blade just enough to cut complete- ly through the workpiece. Lowering the blade too far could cause the blade to make contact with the conveyor track.
Figure 23. Rip cutting operation. The operator is standing to the side of the workpiece to avoid injury in the event of kickback.
