5. The distance the fence is positioned away from the

blade is indicated by the two witness lines (B) and (C) Fig.

76, located on the cursor (D). Witness line (B) indicates

the distance the fence is away from the blade when the

fence is in the horizontal position, and witness line (C)

indicates the distance the fence is away from the blade

when the fence is in the vertical position. If it is necessary

to adjust cursor (D), make a test cut with the fence in

either the vertical or horizontal position, measure the

distance of the finished cut and move the cursor (D) by

loosening the two screws (E) Fig. 76. After adjustment is

completed tighten the two screws (E).

6. To remove the fence and fence body assembly (F)

Fig. 77, from the guide rail, lift up on fence clamping lever

(A) and turn lever (A) to the left indent position. The fence

assembly (F) can then be pulled straight off the guide rail

and removed.

RIPPING WITH THE

UNIFENCE

Ripping is the operation of making a lengthwise cut

through a board, as shown in Fig. 78, 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 blade guard must

be used. On Delta saws, the guard has anti-kickback

fingers to prevent kickback and a splitter to prevent the

saw kerf from closing and binding the blade.

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. 78. 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 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 with the hands

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

allowing safe removal. When ripping boards longer than

three feet, it is recommended that a work support be used

at the rear of the saw to keep the workpiece from falling off

the saw table.

If the ripped work is less than 4 inches wide, a push stick

should always be used to complete the feed, as shown

in Fig. 79. The push stick can easily be made from scrap

material as explained in the section “CONSTRUCTING A

PUSH STICK.” When ripping material under 2 inches in

width, a flat pushboard is a valuable accessory since

ordinary type sticks may interfere with the blade guard.

That flat pushboard can be made as shown in Fig. 79A.
