BEVEL RIPPING
This operation is the same as ripping except the bevel angle is set to an angle other
than 0°.
CAUTION! CUT ONLY WITH THE WORKPIECE AND THE RIP FENCE ON THE
RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE BLADE.
RIPPING SMALL PIECES
CAUTION! AVOID INJURY RESULTING FROM BLADE CONTACT. NEVER MAKE
THROUGH-SAW CUTS NARROWER THAN W' WIDE.
1. It is unsafe to rip small pieces. It is not safe to put your hands close to the blade. To
ensure your safety, rip the small piece from a larger piece.
2. When a small width is to be ripped and the hand cannot be safely put between the
blade and the rip fence, use one or more push sticks. Use the push sticks to hold the
workpiece against the table top and fence and push the workpiece fully past the blade
(Fig. 33).
NOTE: A pattern for making your own push sticks is shown on page 35 of this manual.
CROSSCUTTING (Fig. 34)
CAUTION! To prevent serious injury:
e Do not allow familiarity gained from frequent use of your table saw to cause careless
mistakes. Remember that even a careless fraction of a second is enough to cause a
severe injury.
• Keep both hands away from the blade and the path of the blade.

Remove the rip fence and place the mitre Fig. 34
gauge in the left side groove.
Adjust the blade (1) so it is about 1/8" 3 2
higher than the workpiece (Fig. 34). 1
Hold the workpiece firmly against the
mitre gauge with the path of the blade in
line with the desired cut location. Keep
the workpiece about 1" away from the front
of the blade. Start the table saw motor and
allow the blade to reach to full speed.
Keep the workpiece (2) flat against the face of the mitre gauge (3) and flat against the
table.
Slowly push the workpiece through the saw blade's cutting arc.
Do not try to pull the workpiece back while the blade is still turning. Turn the switch OFF
and carefully slide the workpiece out when the blade has completely stopped.
