When cross-cutting a number of pieces to the same
length, a block of wood can be clamped to the fence
and used as a cut-off gauge as shown. It is important
that this block of wood always be positioned in front of
the saw blade as shown. Once the cut-off length is
determined, secure the fence and use the miter gauge
to feed the work into the blade. This block of wood
allows the cut-off piece to move freely along the table
surface without binding between the fence and the saw
table, thereby lessening the possibility of kickback and
injury to the operator.
Note: This block allows the cut-off scrap piece to move
freely along the table surface without binding between
the fence and the blade, thereby lessening the possibil-
ity of kickback and injury to the operator.
2. Once the cut-off length is determined, lock the
fence and slide the workpiece across the table
surface until it contacts the block. Use the miter
gauge (K) to feed the workpiece into the blade.
WARNING
To avoid kickback when using the block (F) as a cut-off
gauge, it is very important that the rear end of the block
(G) be positioned so the workpiece (H) is clear of the
block before it enters the blade (I). Never use the fence
(J) as a cut-off gauge when crosscutting. See
figure 24-3
RIPPING
WARNING
• NEVER stand in the line of the saw blade path when
ripping.
• ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from the saw
blade.

Ripping is the operation of making a cut with the grain
of the workpiece; the rip fence (A) is used to position
and guide the workpiece. Since the workpiece is
pushed along the fence, it must have a straight edge
and make solid contact with the saw table. The blade
guard (B) and splitter assembly (C) must be used. The
splitter has anti-kickback fingers (D) to prevent the
workpiece from kicking back, and the splitter assembly
to prevent the wood kerf from closing and binding on
the blade. See figure 25-1.

with one or two hands depending on the size.

CAUTION
When ripping a workpiece longer than three feet, it is
recommended that the workpiece be supported at the
rear of the table saw to keep it from falling. A roller
stand can be purchased to support long workpieces to
the rear of a table saw.
CAUTION
If the workpiece is to be cut less than 4-inches wide, a
push stick (E) or guide should always be used to keep
your hands away from the saw blade. See figure 25-2.

piece will either stay on the table, tilt up slightly and
be caught by the rear end of the guard, or slide off
