Ripping

"Ripping" means cutting with the grain of a natural wood workpiece. In other 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 prevent kickback.

2.If using natural wood, joint one long edge of the workpiece on a jointer.

3.DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!

4.Ensure that the blade guard and splitter or riving knife is 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 approximately 1/4" 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.Plug the saw into the power source, turn it ON, and allow it to reach full speed.

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

11.Use a push stick to feed the workpiece through the saw blade, as shown in Figure 44, until the workpiece is completely past the saw blade.

Turn OFF the saw and 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.

Serious injury can be caused by kickback. Kickback is a high-speed expulsion of stock from the tablesaw toward an operator. The operator or bystanders may be struck by flying stock, or the operator’s hands can be pulled into the blade during the kickback.

Figure 44. Typical ripping operation.

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