MAKING A RIP CUT

• Set blade to correct depth for workpiece.
• Unlock the fence rail locking lever and slide rip fence to desired distance from blade for cut.
• Lock the fence rail locking lever.
• Make sure wood is clear of blade before turning on saw.
• When ripping a long workpiece, slide the outfeed support to fully extend.
• To turn saw on, press switch button.
• Position workpiece flat on table with edge flush against rip fence. Let blade build up to full speed before
feeding workpiece into blade.
• Once blade has made contact with workpiece, use hand closest to rip fence for guidance. Make sure edge
of workpiece remains in solid contact with both rip fence and surface of table. If ripping a narrow piece,
use push stick and/or push blocks to move piece through cut and past blade.
• When cut is complete, turn saw off. Wait for blade to come to a complete stop before removing workpiece.
WARNING:
When ripping, always apply the workpiece feeding force between the fence and the saw blade. Use
a push stick when the distance between the fence and the saw blade is less than 6 in. (152 mm),
and use a push block when this distance is less than 2 in. (51 mm). Cutting aids will keep your hand
at a safe distance from the saw blade.
