RABBETING(alongthe edgeof a workpiece)are
performedusing the RIP FENCEtogetherwith
AUXILIARYdeviceswhenrequired.
WARNING:FORYOUROWNSAFETY,ALWAYS
OBSERVETHEFOLLOWINGSAFETYPRECAUTIONS.
Nevermake these cuts FREEHAND (without using the
rip fence or auxiliary devices when required) because
the blade could bind in the cut and cause a
KICKBACK.
2. Always lock the rip fence securely when in use.
3. Remove miter gagefrom table.
4.
Make sure blade guard is installed for all rip type cuts.
Replace the guard IMMEDIATELY following
completion of resewing, rabbeting, dadoing, or molding
operations.
Frequently check the action of the ANTI-KICKBACK
PAWLS by passing the workpiece alongside of the
spreader while saw isOFF.
Pull the workpiece TOWARD you. If the PAWLS do
not DIG into the workpiece and HOLD it ... the pawls
must be SHARPENED. Refer to "Maintenance" section
further on in this manual.

Have blade extend approximately 1/8 inch above top of
workpiece. Additional blade exposure could be
hazardous.
Do not stand directly in front of the blade in caseof a
KICKBACK. Stand to either side of the blade.
Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of the path
of the blade.
If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, TURN
SWITCH OFF before attempting to free the blade.
Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull the
workpiece through the cut ... to support long or
heavy workpieces .... to remove small cut-off pieces of
material or FOR ANY OTHER REASON.
Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material from the
table. REMOVE them by pushing them OFF the table
with a long stick. Otherwise they could be thrown back
at you by the rear of the blade.
Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material that may
become TRAPPED inside the blade guard while the saw
is RUNNING. THIS COULD ENDANGER YOUR
HANDS or cause a KICKBACK.
Turn the saw OFF . .. lift the guard and remove the
piece.
Certain ripping cuts require the use of Auxiliary Devices,
Learn to know WHEN and HOW to use these devices for
NARROW ripping. You can make them from scraps of
wood.

RIPPING
RIPPING is known as cutting a piece of wood with the
grain, or lengthwise. This isdone using the rip fence.
Position the fence to the desired WIDTH OF RIP by
measuring the distance from the "pencil mark" (which you
made when Installing the Blade Guard) to the end of the rip
fence head and lock it.
NOTE: When bevel ripping 6 inches or narrower use fence
on the right side of the sawblade ONLY. This will provide
more space between the fence and the sawblade for use of a
push stick. If the fence ismounted to the left, the sawblade
guard may interfere with the proper use of a push stick.
