RESAWING
RESAWING is known as ripping a piece of wood
through its thickness. Do not attempt to resaw
BOWED or WARPED material. NOTE: To RESAWa
piece of wood wider than 3-3/8 in... it will be
necessary to remove the blade guard ... and use the
AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK SUPPORT. (See "Work
Helpers").
Clamp it to the table so that the workpiece will
SLIDE EASILY but not TILT or MOVE SIDEWAYS
without BINDING between the two fences.
Do not clamp directly tc the bottom edge of the table
because the "swivel" of the clamp will not grip
properly. Place a small block of wood between the
bottom edge of the table and the "C" clamp.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY...
I. DO NOT "BACK UP" (REVERSE FEEDING)
WHILE RESAWING BECAUSE THIS COULD
CAUSE A KICKBACK.
