MAKING A RIP CUT
See Figure 36.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and
working properly to avoid serious possible injury.
WARNING:
Taper cuts must only be made with a special jig, which is
commercially available. Do not attempt a free hand taper
cut on this saw. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious personal injury.
 Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.
 Position the rip fence the desired distance from the blade
for the cut and securely lock the handle.
 When ripping a long workpiece, place a support the same
height as the table surface behind the saw, and on the
sides as needed, for the cut work.
 Install feather board in the appropriate position for the
cut being made.
 Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning
on the saw.
 Turn the saw on.
 Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge
flush against the rip fence. Let the blade build up to full
speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.
OPERATION
BLADE
 Once the blade has made contact with the workpiece, use
the hand closest to the rip fence to guide it. Make sure
the edge of the workpiece remains in solid contact with
both the rip fence and the surface of the table. If ripping
a narrow piece, use a push stick, push blocks and/or a
narrow ripping jig to move the piece through the cut and
past the blade.
 When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the
blade to come to a complete stop before removing the
workpiece.
