Table Saw Operator's Manual 23
Operation
OPERATION (cont.):
8. Work Helpers:
For certain operation, work helpers such as a push stick, push block,
auxiliary fence, work support or the like should be used. These helpers can
be made by yourself using this table saw. Refer to the following figures
which show typical work helpers dimensions.
a. Push Stick.
When the width of rip 2" (50 mm) to 6" (152 mm) wide, use a push stick
to feed the workpiece. A push stick can be easily made from a piece of
3/4" (19 mm) thick plywood.
b. Push Block.
When the width of rip is less than 2" (50 mm) wide, use a push block;
- Use a piece of 3/8" (9.5 mm) and 3/4" (19 mm) thick plywood.
- Glue the small piece of wood 3/8" (9.5 mm) x 3/8" (19 mm) x 2-1/2"
(63.5 mm).
- Provide a grip in the center of the plywood and fix together with glue
and wood screws.
- (A) and (B) edges MUST be parallel.
c. Auxiliary Fence.
When the width of rip is less than 2" (50 mm) the push stick cannot be
used because the saw blade guard (Fig. 23) will interfere with a push
stick, use an auxiliary fence and use stick;
- Use a piece of 3/8" (9.5 mm) and 3/4" (19 mm) thick plywood.
- Fasten both together with glue and wood screws.
CAUTION: THE PUSH BLOCK IS USED WITH THE AUXILIARY FENCE.
THE 4-3/4" (121 MM) DIMENSION MUST BE THE SAME ON BOTH.
d. Work Support;
- Clamp a piece of plywood to a sawhorse with "C" clamps.
- Adjust the height of the plywood to level it with the height of the
table surface.
