Ripping (continued)
When “width of rip” is narrower than 2" the
push stick cannot be used because the
guard will interfere...use the auxiliary
fence and push block.
Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence with two
“C” clamps or use “T” slot and hardware.
Feed the workpiece by hand along the
auxiliary fence until the end is approxi-
mately 1" past the front edge of the table.
Continue to feed using the push block.
Hold the workpiece in position and install
the push block by sliding it on top of the
auxiliary fence/work support (this may
raise guard).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from blade contact never
thru saw cuts narrower than 1/2"
wide.
Narrow strips thicker than the auxiliary
fence/work support may enter the guard
and strike the baffle. Carefully raise guard
only enough to clear the workpiece. Use
push block to complete cut.
Bevel Ripping Narrow Work
When bevel ripping material 6” or nar-
rower, use fence on the right side of the
blade only. This will provide more space
between the fence and the sawblade for
use of a push stick. If the fence is
mounted to the left, the sawblade guard
may interfere with proper use of a push
stick.
