Basic Saw Operations (continued)

When “width of rip” is narrower than 2” the push stick cannot be used because the guard will interfere...use the auxiliary fence and push block.

Use the T-slots in the rip fence to attach the auxiliary fence. See “Work Feed Devices/Attaching Wood Face Board” section of this manual

Feed the workpiece by hand along the auxiliary fence until the end is approxi- mately 1” past the front edge of the table. Continue to feed using the push block.

Hold the workpiece in position and install the push block by sliding it on top of the auxiliary fence/work support (this may raise guard).

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from blade contact never thru-saw cuts narrower than 1/2" wide.

Narrow strips thicker than the auxiliary fence/work support may enter the guard and strike the baffle. Carefully raise guard only enough to clear the workpiece. Use push block to complete cut.

Bevel Ripping Narrow Work

When bevel ripping material 6” or narrower, use fence on the right side of the blade only. This will provide more space between the fence and the sawblade for use of a push stick. If the fence is mounted to the left, the sawblade guard may interfere with proper use of a push stick.
