Ripping is cutting with the grain direction of the
workpiece. Ripping man-made wood products
(like plywood) is cutting parallel to the longest
side.
To perform a rip cut:
1. Mount the miter bar into the table groove that
has the phillips mounting screw when a rip
fence is needed. Note—The miter bar can be
adjusted back and forth in the table groove.
2. Adjust the guide post/upper blade guide
assembly to approximately
1
⁄4" above the top
surface of the workpiece.
3. Joint one long edge of the workpiece on a
jointer to ensure a true straight edge along
the face of the miter body.
4. Using a push stick, feed the workpiece
through the saw blade as shown in Figure
30. Note—The jointed edge of the workpiece
must be against the fence during this opera-
tion.
