MAKING A RIP CUT See Figure 34. A AL WARNING: Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid serious possible 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. [] Place a support (the same height as saw table) behind the saw for the cut work. [] Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning on the saw. [] Turn the power switch to the on position. [] Let the blade build up to full speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade. [] Using a push stick and/or push blocks, slowly feed the workpiece toward the blade. Stand slightly to the side of the wood as it contacts the blade to reduce the chance of injury should kickback occur. [] 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 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. RIP CUT BLADE RiP FENCE MAKING A MITER CUT See Figure 35.
