of the finished cut board. Tighten the carriage lock knob
securely. Turn the saw "On" and lower the radial arm until
the saw blade cuts into the table top a
inch. Turn the saw "Off". Now adjust the saw guard and
anti-kick pawl cssembly as described in the paragraph "Rip-
ping". The board to be ripped must be fed into the saw
blade from the right-hand side of the table, therefore, the
normal position for the operator
of the table. With left hand safely clear of the blade and
holding the board to be ripped down against the table
and against thtt face of the fence as a guide, use the right
hand to feed the board into the saw. The left hand should
remain stationary, serving as a guide only. As the right
hand opprclches the left hand, hold a push stick with
the rigth hand to complete the cut. Do not leave a long
board unsupported s o that the spring of the board causes

it to shift on the table.
cutting") may be used to support the board behind the
blade; and if the board is very long, use another support
in front of the saw. Ripped boards up to 16-inches wide
can be cut in the In-Rip position.
OUT-RIPPING -- refers to a position when the motor
between the biode and the fence. Normally, this position
is only used w l ~ e n the width of the required ripped board
cannot be cut from the in-rip position. Ripped boards up to
17-1
/2-inches wide can be cut in the out-rip position when
boards up to 36-1/2-inches wide can be cut. To place the
saw in the out-rip position, the yoke must be rotated and
indexed 90° counterclockwise from the cross-cut position
and locked. The some procedure for pre-cutting the table
top (see "In-Ripping") ond adiusting the anti-kickback
pawl assembly should be followed. The same procedure
for sawing i s used except that the operator stands at the
left-hand side of the table and a push stick is normally
not required.
i s
Resowing cutting thick boards into thinner ones with
a ripping operation. (See figure 42.) Small boards, up to
4-inches maxinlum width can be resawed in one pass;
but larger boards require two passes, one pass along each
edge of the board. When two cuts from opposite edges are
required, these should be made to overlap
the opproximatc center of the board. If the first cut
deep, the kerf may close and bind the saw on the second
cut, with dangcr of kickback. Also, when the kerf closes,
the two sides cf the cut are no longer parallel to the sow
blade, and the saw will cut into them to spoil their appear-
ance. Keep the same face of thc board against the fence
when making both cuts. When cutting boards thicker than
4 inches, a fence should be used which extends
above the table top.
