5. Slide the leading end of the rip fence so it is
even with the center of the main saw blade as
shown in
Figure 55.
Note: This technique allows the finished cut-
off piece to “fall” away from the blade when
the cutting operation is complete; reducing
the possibility of kickback.
7. Push down the lock lever, then perform the
cutting operation.
