USING THE FENCE AS A CUT-OFF GAGE

WARNING: WHEN USING YOUR UNIFENCE AS A CUT-OFF GAGE, MAKE SURE IT IS PROPERLY SET UP AS DESCRIBED HERE.

The fence can be used as a cut-off gage when cross cutting a number of pieces to the same length. IMPORTANT: When using the fence 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 the operation of making a lengthwise cut through a board, as shown in Fig. 59, and 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 guard must be used. The guard has anti-kickback fingers to prevent wood kickback, and a splitter to prevent the wood kerf from closing and binding the blade.

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. Hold the work with both hands and push it along the fence and into the saw blade as shown in Fig. 59. The work can then be fed through the saw blade with one or two hands. After the work is beyond the saw blade and anti-kickback fingers, the hand is removed from the work. When this is done the work will either stay on the table, tilt up slightly and be caught by the rear end of the guard or slide off the table to the floor. Alternately, the feed can continue to the end of the table, after which the work is lifted and brought back along the outside edge of the fence. The cut-off stock remains on the table and is not touched with the hands until the saw blade is stopped, unless it is a large piece allowing safe removal.
