Using The Rip Fence

ing safety precautions in addition to the
safety instructions on Pages 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and
8.
RIPPING, BEVEL RIPPING, RESAWING AND
RABBETING are performed using the RIP
FENCE together with the AUXILIARY FENCE /
WORK SUPPORT, PUSH STICK OR PUSH
BLOCK.
1. Never make these cuts FREEHAND
(without using the rip fence or auxiliary
devices when required) because the
blade could bind in the cut and cause a
KICKBACK.
2. Always lock the rip fence securely when
in use.
3. Remove miter gauge from table during
any operations which utilize the rip
fence.
4. Make sure blade guard is installed for all
thru-sawing type cuts. Replace the
guard IMMEDIATELY following comple-
tion of resawing, rabbeting, dadoing or
molding operations.
Frequently check the action of the ANTI-
KICKBACK DEVICE by passing the work-
piece alongside of the spreader while
saw is OFF.
Pull the workpiece TOWARD you. If the
PAWLS do not DIG into the workpiece
and HOLD it ... the pawls must be RE-
PLACED or SHARPENED. (See "Main-
taining Your Table Saw" on Page 46).
5. Have blade extend approximately 1/8"
(3.2mm) above top of work piece. Addi-
tional blade exposure would increase
the hazard potential.
6. Do not stand directly in front of the
blade in case of a KICKBACK. Stand to
either side of the blade.
7. Keep your hands clear of the blade and
out of the path of the blade.
8. If the blade stalls or stops while cutting,
TURN SWITCH OFF before attempting to
free the blade.
9. Do not reach over or behind the blade
to pull the work piece through the cut ...
to support long or heavy workpieces ...

Basic Table Saw Operation
For your own safety, al-
ways observe the follow-
to remove small cut-off pieces of mate-
rial or FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
10. Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off ma-
terial from the table. REMOVE them by
pushing them OFF the table with a long
stick. Otherwise they could be thrown
back at you by the rear of the blade.
11. Do not remove small pieces of cut-off
material that may become TRAPPED in-
side the blade guard while the saw is
RUNNING. THIS COULD ENDANGER
YOUR HANDS or cause a KICKBACK.
Turn the saw OFF and disconnect
power source. After the blade has
stopped turning, lift the guard and re-
move the piece.
12 If workpiece is warped, place the CON-
CAVE side DOWN. This will prevent it
from rocking while it is being ripped.

When "WIDTH OF RIP" is 6" (152mm)
and WIDER use your RIGHT hand to feed
the workpiece, use LEFT hand ONLY to
guide the workpiece ... do not FEED the
workpiece with the left hand (Fig. 45).
When "WIDTH OF RIP" is 2" to 6" (50 to
152mm) wide USE THE PUSH STICK 22
to feed the work (Fig. 46).
When WIDTH OF RIP is NARROWER
than 2" (50mm) the Push Stick CANNOT
be used because the guard will interfere
... USE the AUXILIARY FENCE, and
PUSH BLOCK.

RIPPING

RIPPING is known as cutting a piece of wood
with the grain, or lengthwise. This is done
using the rip fence. Position the rip fence to
the desired WIDTH OF RIP and lock in place.
Before starting to rip, be sure:
A. Rip Fence is parallel to sawblade.
B. Riving knife is properly aligned with
sawblade.
C. Anti-kickback Device is functioning
properly.
When ripping LONG BOARDS or LARGE PAN-
ELS, always use a work support (Fig. 45). The
Bosch table saw outfeed support table kit
(TS1008, TS1016) is an ideal accessory to
use for this application.
