Additional Safety instructions for Rip Cuts

•Never use the miter gauge when ripping

•Use a push stick whenever lhe fence is 2 or more inches from the blade,

•When thru-sawing,use an auxiliary fence and push block whenever the fence must be between 1/2 and 2

inches from the blade

•Never thru-sawrip cuts narrower than t/2 inch, oNever rip anything shorter than 10" long,.

•When using a push stick or push block, the trailing end of the workpiece must be square A push stick or block against an uneven end could slip off or push the work- piece away from the fence,

o A featherboard can help guide the workpiece_ (See "Basic Saw OperatiomUsing Featherboards for Thru- Sawing" section,)

,Always use featherboards for any non thru-sawing rip type cuts, (See "Basic Saw Operations-Using Feather- boards for Non Thru-sawing" section)

Before Starting:

oTo avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, make sure the rip fence is parallel to the sawblade

•Before thru-sawing, check the anti-kickback pawls, the pawls must stop a kickback once it has started,, Replace or sharpen anti-kickback pawts when points become dull

°Plastic and composition (like hardboard) materials may be cut on your saw, However, since these are usually quite hard and slippery, the anti-kickback pawls may not stop a kickback, Therefore, be especially careful in your setup and cutting procedures,

While Thru-sawing:

oTo avoid kickbacks and slips into the blade, always push forward on the section of the workpiece between the sawblade and the rip fence Never push forward on the piece being cut off

Ripping

When ripping long boards or large panels, always use a work support A simple support can be made by clamping a piece of plywood to a sawhorse

WARNING: To avoid kickback, push forward only ]

on the part of the workpiece that will pass between 1 the blade and the fence.

Keep your hands out of the blade path,
