Bevel Ripping - Delta UniSAW 36-L336 Manual De Instrucciones

BEVEL RIPPING

Bevel ripping (Fig. 57) is the same as ripping except the
bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0°.
Before connecting the table saw to the
power source or operating the saw, always inspect
the blade guard assembly and riving knife for proper
alignment and clearance with saw blade. Check
alignment after each change of bevel angle.
When possible, place the fence on the
right side of the blade so that the blade is tilted away
from the fence and hands. Keep your hands clear of
the blade and use a pushstick to feed the workpiece if
there is less than 6" (152 mm) between the fence and
the blade.
Use caution when starting the cut to
prevent binding of the guard against the workpiece.
CROSSCUTTING
NEVER touch the free end of the
workpiece or a free piece that is cut off, while
the power is ON and/or the saw blade is rotating.
Piece may contact the blade resulting in a thrown
workpiece and possible injury.
To reduce the risk of injury, NEVER
use the fence as a guide or length stop when
crosscutting.
NEVER use a length stop on the free end
of the workpiece when crosscutting. In short, the cut-
off piece in any through-sawing (cutting completely
through the workpiece) operation must never be
confined — it must be allowed to move away from
saw blade to prevent contact with blade resulting in a
thrown workpiece and possibly injury.
Use caution when starting the cut to
prevent binding of the blade guard assembly against
the workpiece resulting in damage to saw and
possible injury.
When using a block as a cut-off gauge,
the block must be at least 3/4" (19 mm) thick and
is very important that the rear end of the block be
positioned so the workpiece is clear of the block
before it enters the blade to prevent contact with
blade resulting in a thrown workpiece and possibly
injury.
Cross-cutting is cutting the wood across the grain.
It requires the use of the miter gauge to posi tion and
guide the work. Before starting the cut, raise the blade
so that it is about 1/8" (3.2 mm) higher than the top of the
workpiece. Place the work against the miter gauge and
advance both the gauge and work toward the saw blade
(Fig. 58).
