Determine the depth of cut and the cutting speed in terms of the width of the work-
piece you intend to cut. Insert the workpiece flush with the table top. When cutting
the long and heavy workpiece, lift up the end of the workpiece slightly
at
the start and
the end of cutting to avoid gouging or sniping
at
the extreme ends of the workpiece.
Two rollers are provided on top of the
chip cover to enable quick, efficient
return of the workpiece to the infeed
table side. This
is
especially convenient
with two operators.
CAUTION
:
Stop the tool when the workpiece
is
stalled. Keeping the tool running with
a
stalled workpiece causes the abnormal
wearing of the feed rollers.

Placement of hands during feeding
At the start of the cut, the left hand holds the workpiece firmly against the infeed
table and fence, while the right hand pushes the workpiece toward the blade. After the
cut
is
under way, the new surface rests firmly on the outfeed table. The left hand
should press down on this part,
at
the same time maintaining flat contact with the
fence. The right hand presses the workpiece forward and before the right hand passes
over the cutterhead
it
should be moved to
the
workpiece on the outfeed table.
