or more to one side or the other depending on which

miter gage slot is being used. This auxiliary wood-facing

(B) can be fastened

to the front of the miter gage by

using two wood screws (C) through the holes provided

in the miter gage body and into the wood-facing.

NEVER USE THE FENCE AS A CUT-OFF

GAGE WHEN CROSS-CUTTING.

When cross-cutting a number of pieces to the same length, a

block of wood (B) Fig. 39B can be clamped to the fence and

used as a cut-off gage as shown in Fig. 39B. It is important that

this block of wood always be positioned in front of the saw

blade as shown. Once the cut-off length is determined, secure

the fence and use the miter gage to feed the work into the cut.

This block of wood allows the cut-off piece to move freely

along the table surface without binding between the fence and

the saw blade, thereby lessening the possibility of kickback and

injury to the operator.

WHEN USING THE BLOCK (B) FIG. 39B,

AS A CUT-OFF GAGE, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT

THE REAR END OF THE BLOCK BE POSITIONED SO

THE WORK PIECE IS CLEAR OF THE BLOCK BEFORE

IT CONTACTS THE BLADE.

Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a board. The rip

fence (A) Fig. 40 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.

RIPPING

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. 40). 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
