Lock the bevel locking lever.
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.

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.
Using a push stick and/or push blocks, slowly feed the workpiece toward the blade. Stand slightly to the side of the wood as it contacts the blade to reduce the chance of injury should kickback occur.
