Bevel Ripping; Ripping Small Pieces - KNOVA KN M-2504RC Manual Del Usuario

OPERATION
WARNING
Before using the saw each time, check
the following:
1. The blade is tightened to the arbor.
2. The blade lock knob is tightened.
3. If ripping, make sure the fence is locked into
position and is parallel to the miter gauge groove.
4. The blade guard is in place and working properly.
5. Safety glasses are worn.
Failure to adhere to these common safety rules, and those
printed in the front of this manual, can greatly increase the
likelihood of injury.
RIPPING (FIG. NN, OO)
WARNING
To prevent serious injury:
• Never use a miter gauge when ripping.
• Never use more than one rip fence during a single
cut.
• Do not allow familiarity or frequent use of your
table saw to cause careless mistakes. Remember
that even a careless fraction of a second is
enough to cause a severe injury.
• Keep both hands away from the blade and clear
from the path of the blade.
• The workpiece must have a straight edge against
the fence and must not be warped, twisted, or
bowed when ripping.
1. Remove the miter gauge and store it in the "storage"
compartment in the base of the saw.
2. Secure the rip fence to the table.
3. Raise the blade so it is about 1/8 in. higher than the top
of the workpiece.
4. Place the workpiece flat on the table and against the
fence. Keep the workpiece away from the blade.
5. Turn the saw ON and wait for the blade to come to full
speed.
6. Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by pushing
forward only on the workpiece section (1) that will pass
between the blade and the fence. (Fig. NN)
7. Keep your thumbs off the table top. When both of your
thumbs touch the front edge of the table (2), finish the cut
with a push stick (3). To make an additional push stick,
use the pattern on page 25. (Fig. OO)
WARNING
AVOID KICKBACK by pushing forward
on the section of the workpiece that passes
between the blade and the fence. Never perform
any freehand operations.

WARNING
When width or rip is narrower than 2 in.,
the push stick cannot be used because the blade
guard will interfere. Use the auxiliary fence (5) and
push block (6) as shown in Fig. OO.

8. Continue pushing the workpiece (4) with the push stick (3)
or push block (6 - Fig. OO) until it passes through the blade
guard and clears the rear of the table. (Fig. NN)
9. Never pull the piece back when the blade is turning. Turn
the switch Off. When the blade completely stops, you can
then remove the workpiece.
WARNING
Never attempt to pull the workpiece
backwards during a cutting operation. This will
cause kickback and serious injury to the user can
occur. When the blade completely stops, raise the
anti-kickback pawls assembly (7) on each side of the
riving knife and slide the workpiece out. (Fig. OO)

BEVEL RIPPING

This cut is the same as ripping except the blade bevel angle
is set to an angle other than 0°.

RIPPING SMALL PIECES

To avoid injury from blade contact, never make cuts narrower
than 3/4 in. wide.
1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger piece
to obtain the size of the desired piece.
2. When a small width is to be ripped, and your hand cannot
be safely put between the blade and the rip fence, use
push stick or push block to pass the workpiece completely
through and past the blade.
HELPFUL DEVICES
In order to make some cuts, it is necessary to use devices like
a push block, featherboard or auxiliary fence, which you can
make yourself. Here are some templates for your reference.
