Ripping

2.Insert yellow key and turn saw on.

3.Stand at infeed side and out of line of workpiece, in case of kickback. Start and finish cut from infeed side.

4.Put workpiece on table, in front of hold down, and tight against fence. To hold work- piece in position, put left hand on table, at least 8" in front of hold down, and lightly press fingers against workpiece. Support workpiece with table extension or right hand.

CAUTION

For large workpieces use a feather board in place of your hand on the table. It gives better support. (See cut- ting aides)

5.With right hand, push workpiece under hold down and into blade. Keep left hand fixed on table, applying slight pressure to keep workpiece against fence.

6.Use right hand to continue to apply feed pressure to part of workpiece close to fence. Keep hand at least 8" in front of hold down. Note: Most workpieces will automatically raise clear plastic guard as they pass from infeed to outfeed side. Unusually tall and narrow workpieces may not raise clear guard. When this happens, push guard tab to raise guard, then release tab when guard rests on top of workpiece surface.

CAUTION

Pushing guard tab means using only one hand to control workpiece. While pushing tab, use extra care to guide workpiece and to keep hand at least 8" in front of hold down.

Release tab as soon as clear guard rests on workpiece.

7.When end of workpiece gets to table, use push stick or block, instead of hand, on part of workpiece between blade and fence to push until workpiece is completely past pawls.

8.Turn saw off and wait for blade to stop spinning before touching workpiece.
