rip fence”.
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 workpiece. 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
workpiece.
(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.
Cross cutting
CAUTION:
•
When making a crosscut, remove the rip fence from
the table.
•
When cutting long or large workpieces, always
provide adequate support to the sides of the table.
The support should be at the same height as the
table.
•
Always keep hands away from path of blade.
Miter gauge
Use the miter gauge for the 4 types of cutting shown in
the figure.
CAUTION:
•
Secure the knob on the miter gauge carefully.
•
Avoid creep of workpiece and gauge by firm
workholding arrangement, especially when cutting
at an angle.
•
NEVER hold or grasp the intended “cut-off” portion
of the workpiece.
Use of miter gauge
Slide the miter gauge into the thick grooves in the table.
Loosen the knob on the gauge and align to desired angle
