MAKING A RIP CUT

See Figure 41.

A

J_, WARNING: Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid serious possible injury.

[] Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.

[] Position the rip fence the desired distance from the blade for the cut and securely lock the handle.

[] Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning on the saw.

[] When ripping a long workpiece, place a support the same height as the table surface behind the saw for the cut work.

[] Turn the saw on.

[] Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge flush against the rip fence. Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.

[] Once the blade has made contact with the workpiece, use the hand closest to the rip fence to guide it. Make sure the edge of the workpiece remains in solid contact with both the rip fence and the surface of the table. If ripping a narrow piece, use a push stick and/or push blocks to move the piece through the cut and past the blade.

[] When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before removing the workpiece.
