RIPPING
Ripping is cutting wood lengthwise. This operation is performed in
the same manner as crosscutting with the exception of supporting
the workpiece. If the workpiece is supported on a large table,
bench, or floor, several pieces of scrap stock approximately 1"
(25.4 mm) thick should be placed beneath the material to allow
clearance for the portion of the saw blade that extends thru the
workpiece. Large sheets of paneling or thin plywood supported on
saw horses should have 2 x 4’s placed lengthwise between the
horses and the workpiece to prevent it from sagging in the center.
BEVEL CUTTING
Make your bevel cuts in the same manner as crosscuts and rip cuts,
but set the blade at an angle between 0° and 47°.
The bevel cut made at an angle to the edge of a board is called a
compound cut.
1. Place the machine onto the track and release the anti-kickback
knob (U) by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Turn the machine on and slowly press the saw down onto the
set cutting depth and push forward in the cutting direction. The
cut indicators (T) display the absolute front and the absolute
rear cutting points of the saw blade [dia. 6-1/2" (165 mm)] at
maximum cutting depth and using the track.
3. If kickback happened during the plunge cut, turn the anti-
kickback knob (U) counterclockwise to release it from the
track.
4. When you have finished the plunge cut, turn the anti-kickback
knob (U) clockwise into the lock position.
CROSS-CUTTING
Cutting directly across the grain of a piece of lumber is called
crosscutting. Figures 9 and 10 illustrate a crosscut operation.
Position the work so that the cut will be on the left.
