Craftsman 509399 Remove workpiece from table Ready push stick or push block, Making Rip Cuts

Ripping

7.Remove workpiece from table.

8.Ready push stick or push block.

9.Set up table extension(s) and support their outer ends. Do not use another per- son to support workpieces because this can cause kickback and it exposes helper to potential hazards at outfeed side.

Special Notes for Bevel Set-Up

CAUTION

Bevel ripping creates unique problems of visibility and feeding. Before cut- ting, check the set-up using both in-rip and out-rip. Use the position that gives the best combination of workpiece vis- ibility and push stick clearance.

WARNING

Bevel the edge that is not against the fence.

1.When setting bevel angle, raise radial arm to allow sufficient clearance for blade and guard to not jam in table.

2.When blade is beveled manually raise clear plastic guard before lowering blade to table or kerf, otherwise it may jam in the table.

3.To set hold down, place workpiece directly under guard nose, rather than paral- lel to blade.

4.To set pawls, place workpiece directly under set of pawls closer to table. This set of pawls will keep contact with workpiece sur- face.

Making Rip Cuts
Follow these steps to make in-rip cuts. For
out-rip cuts, reverse hand functions; that is,
put right hand on table and use left hand to
support and push workpiece.	In-Ripping
1. Follow ripping set-up procedure.
