USING THE UNIFENCE AS A

CUT-OFF GAGE

WHEN USING YOUR UNIFENCE SAW

GUIDE® 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.

53, or purchase a 12" long fence (B), as shown in Fig. 54.

A typical operation using the 12" long fence (B) as a cut-

off gage is shown in Fig. 55.

RIPPING

A RIP FENCE SHOULD ALWAYS BE

USED FOR RIPPING OPERATIONS. NEVER PERFORM

A RIPPING OPERATION FREE-HAND.

Ripping is the operation of making a lengthwise cut

through a board, as shown in Fig. 56, and 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 guard must be used. The

guard has anti-kickback fingers to prevent wood

kickback, and a splitter to prevent the wood kerf from

closing and binding the blade.

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. Hold the work with both hands and

push it along the fence and into the saw blade as shown

in Fig. 56. The work can then be fed through the saw

blade with one or two hands. After the work is beyond the

saw blade and anti-kickback fingers, the hand is removed

from the work. When this is done the work will either stay

on the table, tilt up slightly and be caught by the rear end

of the 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 back along the outside

edge of the fence. The cut-off stock remains on the table

and is not touched with the hands until the saw blade is
