USING UNIFENCE AS CUT-OFF GAGE

WHEN USING YOUR UNIFENCE AS A CUT-OFF GAGE, MAKE SURE IT IS

PROPERLY SET UP AS DESCRIBED HERE.

The Unifence can be used as a cut-off gage when cross cutting a number of pieces to the same length.

When using the unifence as a cut-off gage, it is very important that the rear end of the fence be positioned so the work piece is clear of the fence before it enters the blade. When using the fence as a cut-off gage, position the fence (A) to the front as shown in Fig. 56, or purchase a 12" long fence (B), as shown in Fig. 57. A typical operation using the 12" long fence (B) as a cut-off gage is shown in Fig. 58.

RIPPING

Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a board, (Fig. 59). NOTE: Be sure the material to be cut is seasoned, dry and flat. The rip fence (A) is used to position and guide the work. One edge of the work rides against the rip fence while the flat side of the board rests on the table. Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a straight edge and make solid contact with the table.

THE SAW BLADE GUARD MUST BE USED. ON DELTA SAWS, THE GUARD HAS ANTI- KICKBACK FINGERS TO PREVENT KICKBACK AND A SPLITTER TO PREVENT THE WOOD KERF FROM CLOSING AND BINDING THE BLADE. BE SURE TO REPLACE OR SHARPEN THE ANTI-KICKBACK DEVICES WHEN THE POINTS BECOME DULL.

A RIP FENCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED FOR RIPPING OPERATIONS. NEVER PERFORM A RIPPING OPERATION FREE-HAND.

1.Start the motor and advance the work holding it down and against the fence. Never stand in the line of the saw cut when ripping. When the rip width is 6 inches or wider, hold the work with both hands and push it along the fence and into the saw blade (Fig. 59). The work should then be fed through the saw blade with the right hand. Only use the left hand to guide the workpiece. Do not feed the workpiece with the left hand. After the work is beyond the saw blade and anti-kickback fingers, remove hands from the work.

2.When this is done the work will either stay on the table, tilt up slightly and be caught by the end of the rear guard, or slide off the table to the floor. Alternately, the feed can continue to the end of the
