BASIC SAW OPERATION
WORK HELPERS
Before cutting any wood on your saw, study all of the
"Basic Saw Operations".
Notice that in order to make some of the cuts, it is
necessary to use certain devices "Work Helpers" like
the Push Stick, the Push Block and the Auxiliary
Fence/Work Support, which you can make yourself.
After you have made a few practice cuts, make up
these "helpers" before starting any projects. Make
the "Push Stick" first.

Make the Push S'_ick using a piece of 1 x 2, or rip one
from a wide board, say 11-1/2 in. wide, and set the rip
fence 9-7/8 in. from the sawblade.
Make the Push Block using a piece of 3/8 in. and 3/4
in. plywood.
The small piece of wood 3/8 in. x 3/8 in. x 2-1/2 in.
should be GLUED to the plywood... DO NOT USE

Position the handle in the center of the plywood and
fasten together with glue and woodscrews.
