WHEN USING YOUR UNIFENCE AS A
CUT-OFF GAGE, MAKE SURE IT IS
PROPERLY SET UP AS DESCRIBED HERE.
The Unifence can be used as a cut-off gage when cross
cutting a number of pieces to the same length.
When using the unifence as a cut-off
gage, it is very important that the rear end of the fence
be positioned so the work piece is clear of the fence
before it enters the blade. When using the fence as a
cut-off gage, position the fence (A) to the front as
shown in Fig. 56, or purchase a 12" long fence (B), as
shown in Fig. 57. A typical operation using the 12" long
fence (B) as a cut-off gage is shown in Fig. 58.

RIPPING
Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a board, (Fig. 59).
NOTE: Be sure the material to be cut is seasoned, dry
and flat. The rip fence (A) is used to position and guide
the work. One edge of the work rides against the rip
fence while the flat side of the board rests on the table.
Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have
a straight edge and make solid contact with the table.
THE SAW BLADE GUARD MUST BE
USED. ON DELTA SAWS, THE GUARD HAS ANTI-
KICKBACK FINGERS TO PREVENT KICKBACK AND
A SPLITTER TO PREVENT THE WOOD KERF FROM
CLOSING AND BINDING THE BLADE. BE SURE TO
REPLACE OR SHARPEN THE ANTI-KICKBACK
DEVICES WHEN THE POINTS BECOME DULL.
A
RIP FENCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE
USED FOR RIPPING OPERATIONS. NEVER
PERFORM A RIPPING OPERATION FREE-HAND.
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. 59). 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
