Rip cutting using the traditional table saw technique:

1.Slide the crosscut table out of the way.

2.Lock the sliding table into a stationary posi- tion.

3.Position the rip fence to the desired width-of- cut.

4.Slide the leading end of the rip fence so it is even with the center of the main saw blade as shown in Figure 68. Note—This tech- nique allows the finished cut-off piece to “fall” away from the blade when the cutting opera- tion is complete; therefore, reducing the pos- sibility of kickback and preventing the trailing corner of the workpiece from being nicked by the back edge of the blade.

5.Position the blade guard to the correct height for your workpiece.

6.Once all the necessary safety precautions have been taken, load the workpiece onto the table saw and perform the cutting opera- tion.
