OPERATION MAKING A RIP CUT See Figure 36. WARNING: Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed and working properly to avoid serious possible injury. BLADE RIP CUT RIP FENCE 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. PUSH STICK Fig. 36  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. 31 - English

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
