Using the Auxiliary Fence & Push
Block
1.
Place auxiliary fence on table and clamp
it to fence at both ends, then adjust dis-
tance between auxiliary fence and blade—
this determines how wide workpiece will be
ripped (see Figure 88).

2. Install blade guard, then remove right anti-
kickback pawl, as explained on Page 32, so
it does not interfere with push block lip.
Keep blade guard installed and in down
position. Failure to do this could result in
serious personal injury or death.
3. Place workpiece 1" behind blade and evenly
against table and auxiliary fence.
