g0651/g0652 10" extreme series table saws -43-
The danger of kickback increases relative to
the depth of a cut. Reduce the risk of kick-
back by making multiple passes to achieve
the desired depth of cut . failure to follow
these warnings could result in serious per-
sonal injury.
Always use push sticks or push paddles to
increase safety and control during opera-
tions which require that the blade guard
and splitter must be removed from the
saw. ALWAyS replace the blade guard after
resawing is complete.
7. plug in the table saw, turn it ON, and use a
push stick to feed the workpiece through the
blade using a slow, steady feed rate.
8. Flip the workpiece end for end, keeping the
same side against the fence, and run the
workpiece through the blade.

10. turn OFF the table saw, then separate the
parts of the workpiece and hand plane the
remaining ridge to remove it.
11. When finished resawing, remove the resaw
barrier and auxiliary fence, then re-install the
blade guard/splitter or riving knife and stan-
dard table insert.
5. slide the workpiece over the blade to make
sure it moves smoothly, then remove the
workpiece.
6. raise the blade approximately an inch, or
close to half the height of the workpiece
(figure 56), whichever is less.
9. repeat Steps 6–8 until the blade is close to
half of the height of the board to be resawn.
the ideal completed resaw cut will leave an
1⁄8" connection when the resawing is com-
plete as shown in figure 56. leaving an 1⁄8"
connection will reduce the risk of kickback.
