Basic Saw Operations (continued)

When “width of rip” is narrower than 2”

the push stick cannot be used because

the guard will interfere...use the auxiliary

fence and push block.

Use the T-slots in the rip fence to attach

the auxiliary fence. See “Work Feed

Devices/Attaching Wood Face Board”

section of this manual

Feed the workpiece by hand along the

auxiliary fence until the end is approxi-

mately 1” past the front edge of the table.

Continue to feed using the push block.

Hold the workpiece in position and install

the push block by sliding it on top of the

auxiliary fence/work support (this may

raise guard).

Narrow strips thicker than the auxiliary

fence/work support may enter the guard

and strike the baffle. Carefully raise

guard only enough to clear the

workpiece. Use push block to complete

cut.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

injury from blade contact never

thru-saw cuts narrower than 1/2"

wide.

Bevel Ripping Narrow Work

When bevel ripping material 6” or

narrower, use fence on the right side of

the blade only. This will provide more

space between the fence and the

sawblade for use of a push stick. If the

fence is mounted to the left, the

sawblade guard may interfere with

proper use of a push stick.
