ADDiTiONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR
RIPTYPE CUTS
1. NEVER use the Miter Gauge when ripping.
2. Use a Push Stick whenever the fence is 2 or more
inches from the blade. When thru sawing, use an
Auxiliary Fence and Push Block whenever the Fence
must bebetween 1/2 and 2 inchesofthe blade. Never
thru saw ripcuts lessthan 1/2 inchwide. (See"BASIC
SAW OPERATION - USING THE RIP FENCE" sec-
tion.)
3. Never rip anything shorter than 10" long.
4. When using a Push Stick or Push Block, the trailing
end of the board must be square. A Push Stick or
Block against an uneven end couldslip off orpushthe
work away from the Fence.
5. A FEATHERBOARD can help guide the workpiece.
See "BASIC SAW OPERAT{ON - USING THE RIP
FENCE." Always use Featherboards for any non
