(% Place the auxiliary fence on the table and clamp it to the fence at both ends, then adjust the distance between the auxiliary fence and the blade—this determines how wide the workpiece will be ripped (see =`^li\/,).

)% Install the blade guard, then secure the spreader pawls in the upright position, as shown in Figure 48 on GX^\*., so they do not interfere with the push block lip.

*% Place the workpiece 1" in front of the blade and evenly against the table and the auxiliary fence.

+% Turn the saw FE, then begin ripping the workpiece using a push stick for side support.

As the workpiece nears the end of the cut, place the push block on the auxiliary fence with the lip directly behind the workpiece, then release the push stick just before it is even with the blade (see =`^li\/.). Guide the workpiece the rest of the way through the cut with the push block, then re-install the pawls on the spreader when cutting operations are finished.
