Ripping

FG<I8K@FEJ

Ripping means cutting with the grain of a natural wood workpiece. In man-made materials such as MDF or plywood, ripping simply means cutting lengthwise.

To make a rip cut, do these steps:

1.Review Preventing Kickback on Page 9 and take the necessary precautions to reduce the likelihood of kickback.

2.Inspect the board for soundness. You will need one straight edge of the workpiece to place against the fence when ripping. Also, if the workpiece is slightly cupped, always place the cupped side down on the table for stability.

3.DISCONNECT SAW FROM POWER!

4.Ensure that the blade guard/spreader is properly installed.

5.Set the fence to the desired width of cut on the scale.

6.Adjust the blade height so the highest saw tooth protrudes no more than 14" above the workpiece.

7.Set up safety devices such as featherboards or other anti-kickback devices.

8.Rotate the blade to make sure it does not come into contact with any of the safety devices.

9.Re-connect the saw to power, then turn it ON and allow the blade to reach full speed.

Note: The jointed edge of the workpiece must slide against the fence during the cutting operation.

10.Use a push stick to feed the workpiece through the saw blade, as shown in Figure 45, until it is completely beyond the saw blade.

Never attempt to rip a workpiece that does not have one perfectly straight edge on it. Always place the straight edge against the rip fence. Failure to do this could result in kickback and serious personal injury.

operation.

Keep the blade guard installed and in the down position. Failure to do this could result in serious personal injury or death.

Turn OFF the saw and ALWAYS allow the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the cut-off piece. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury.
