1. Start the motor and advance the work holding it down

and against the fence. Never stand in the line of the

saw cut when ripping. When the rip width is 6 inches

or wider, hold the work with both hands and push it

along the fence and into the saw blade (Fig. 53). The

work should then be fed through the saw blade with

the right hand. Only use the left hand to guide the

workpiece. Do not feed the workpiece with the left

hand. After the work is beyond the saw blade and

anti-kickback fingers, remove hands from the work.

2. When this is done the work will either stay on the

table, tilt up slightly and be caught by the end of the

rear guard, or slide off the table to the floor.

Alternately, the feed can continue to the end of the

table, after which the work is lifted and brought

along the outside edge of the fence. The cut-off

stock remains on the table and is not touched until

the saw blade has stopped, unless it is a large piece

allowing safe removal. When ripping boards longer

than three feet, use a work support at the rear of the

saw to keep the workpiece from falling off the saw

table.

3. If the ripped work is less than 6 inches wide, a push

stick should always be used to complete the feed, as

shown in Fig. 54. The push stick can easily be made

from scrap material as explained in the section

“CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK.”

4. Ripping narrow pieces can be dangerous if not done

carefully.

WHEN THE PIECE IS TOO NARROW

FOR A PUSH STICK TO BE EFFECTIVE - AND IF THE

WORKPIECE IS SHORT ENOUGH - USE A

PUSHBOARD. WHEN RIPPING MATERIAL UNDER 2

INCHES IN WIDTH, ORDINARY PUSH STICKS MAY

INTERFERE WITH THE BLADE GUARD.

When using a pushboard, the width of the pushboard

must be added to the width of the rip fence position

setting. A flat pushboard can be constructed as

shown in Fig. 55 and should be used as shown in Fig.

56. NOTE: GUARD REMOVED FOR CLARITY.

ALWAYS USE THE GUARD.

NOTE: Some special operations (when using the

moulding cutterhead) require the addition of an

auxiliary wood facing to the fence, as explained in

the section “USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING”

and use of a push stick.
