3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece into
the blade along with the rip fence.
(1) When the width of rip is 150 mm (6”) and wider,
carefully use your right hand to feed the work-
piece. Use your left hand to hold the workpiece
in position against the rip fence.
(2) When the width of rip is 65 mm - 150 mm (2-1/2”
- 6”) wide, use the push stick to feed the work-
piece.
(3) When the width of rip is narrower than 65 mm
(2-1/2”), the push stick cannot be used because
the push stick will strike the blade guard. Use the
auxiliary fence and push block.
Attach the auxiliary fence to the rip fence with
two “C” clamps.
Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is about
25 mm (1”) from the front edge of the table. Continue
to feed using the push block on the top of the auxiliary
fence until the cut is complete.
