Ripping Set-up Procedure

Follow these steps before ripping.

These steps must be repeated each time

a different thickness workpiece is ripped.

A kerf must be made for each different

width cut. Also see the special notes for

bevel set-up that follow this section.

1. Prepare table:

- insert solid (no kerfs) fence (Note: Use

auxiliary fence when blade is set 1/2 to 2" from

fence (See Cutting Aides)

- tighten table clamps.

2. Prepare blade:

- lock radial arm at 0° miter - lock blade

in in-rip position*

- lower blade to just clear table

- lock blade carriage desired distance

from fence. Note: Make sure wider part of

workpiece will be between blade and fence.

* use out-rip position for rips 16" or wider

3. Make kerf:

a) turn saw on

b) lower blade about 1/16" into table

c) turn saw off and remove yellow key.

4. Place workpiece parallel to and up

against blade.** Note: Workpiece will be between

blade and table front.

5. Lower hold down** to workpiece, then

raise slightly so it just clears top surface of

workpiece. Lock in place.

6. Lower riving knife to table. Lower pawls

to workpiece surface.** Move workpiece

toward outfeed side until one set of pawls

rests level on workpiece surface. Lock in

place.

** bevel set-up: see special notes, next page

WARNING

If workpiece is pushed along fence

with kerfs, workpiece could get caught

on kerf, pinch blade and cause kick-

back. Do not use crosscutting fence

for ripping.
