width of rip is less than 2" (50mm) the push
stick cannot be used because the guard will
interfere (Fig. 46).
Always position push stick and apply feed
force parallel to the saw blade. Ensure that
the push stick is positioned such that sur-
face A is flat against the top of the work-
piece, and surface B is fully engaged with the
trailing end of the workpiece (Fig. 47). If a
workpiece is shaped such that the push stick
cannot be fully supported in this manner, an
appropriate push block or jig should be used
to support that workpiece.

PUSH BLOCK

When width of rip is narrower than 2"
(50mm) the push stick cannot be used be-
cause the guard will interfere; use the auxil-
iary fence and push block.
Attach auxiliary fence AF to rip fence 18 with
two "C" clamps (Fig. 48).
Feed the work piece by hand until the trailing
end is approximately 1" (25mm) from the
front edge of the table. Continue to feed
using the push block PB on top of the auxil-
iary fence until the cut is complete (Fig. 49).
AUXILIARY AND THIN WORKPIECE
FENCE
When cutting a workpiece with thickness of
1/8" (3.2mm) or less, it is important to pre-
vent the workpiece from wedging between
the table and bottom of the rip fence. Proper
use of an auxiliary fence can eliminate gaps
between the table and bottom of the rip
fence. Use the auxiliary fence AF (Fig. 48) or
the thin workpiece fence 25 (Fig. 1) and
mount it to the rip fence 18 (Fig. 1) so there
is no clearance between the bottom surface
of the auxiliary fence and the table 2 (Fig. 1).
Figure 49b illustrates the correct table and
auxiliary fence position.
