rip cutting with rip fence
1. slide the crosscut table out of the way.
2. lock the sliding table into a stationary posi-
tion (see figure 85).
figure 87. rip fence even with center of blade
(guard removed from spreader for clarity).
3. place the fence in the vertical position for
larger workpieces, or in the horizontal posi-
tion for angled cuts and for small workpieces
(see
figure 86).
5. lift the lock lever and position the rip fence to
approximately the desired width-of-cut.
6. tighten down the micro-adjust lock knob
( figure 88) and turn the micro-adjust knob to
zero in on the desired width-of-cut.
4. slide the leading end of the rip fence so it is
even with the center of the main saw blade
as shown in
figure 87. note: This technique
allows the finished cut-off piece to “fall” away
from the blade when the cutting operation
is complete; reducing the possibility of kick-
back.
7. push down the lock lever, then perform the
cutting operation.
