FIG. 33
Narrow Rip Auxiliary Fence
(Fig. 34, 36)
The narrow rip auxiliary fence should be used for a rip
measuring 2" (50.8 mm) or narrower. This fence will allow
the guard to remain on the saw when completing narrow
ripping. This fence will provide ample space for proper use
of a push block (A12, see Push Block).
1. Follow the diagram in Fig. 34 to construct the narrow
rip auxiliary fence (A13). NOTE: A11 should be cut to fit
the length of the saw table top and sides (A14) must be
parallel.

2. After the narrow rip auxiliary fence is constructed, slip it
over the saw table top and place it flush to the fence as
shown in Fig. 36.
3. Feed the workpiece through until the edge of the
material reaches the front edge of the saw table top.
4. Continue feeding the material using the push block
(A12) until the cut is complete.
Push Block (Fig. 35, 36)
IMPORTANT: Only use the push block (A12) with the
narrow rip auxiliary fence, see Narrow Rip auxiliary Fence.
The push block should be used once the material being cut
U
reaches the saw table top.
1. Construct a push block using the diagram in Fig. 35.
NOTE: Edges (A15) must be the same size.
IMPORTANT: The over hanging edge (A16, Fig. 35)
MUST be square. An uneven lip could cause the push
block to slip or push the material away from the fence.

2. Place the push block (A12, Fig. 36) behind the material
and ensure the lip of the block is flush to the narrow rip
auxiliary fence (A13).
4-3/4"
3. Once the push block is in place, continue feeding the
(121 mm)
material until the cut is complete making sure the push
block remains flush to the narrow rip auxiliary fence at
all times.
IMPORTANT: The narrow rip auxiliary fence and the over
hanging edge (A16, Fig. 35) should both be the same
thickness.

Bevel Ripping
This operation is the same as ripping except the bevel angle
is set to an angle other than zero degrees.
WARNING: Before connecting the table saw to the power
source or operating the saw, always inspect the blade
guard assembly and riving knife for proper alignment and
clearance with saw blade. Check alignment after each
change of bevel angle.
Crosscutting
WARNING: NEVER touch the "free end" of the workpiece
or a "free piece" that is cut off, while the power is ON
and/or the saw blade is rotating. Piece may contact the
blade resulting in a thrown workpiece and possible injury.
5"
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, NEVER use the
fence as a guide or length stop when crosscutting.
A12
WARNING: NEVER use a length stop on the free end
of the workpiece when crosscutting. In short, the cut-off
piece in any through-sawing (cutting completely through the
workpiece) operation must never be confined — it must be
allowed to move away from saw blade to prevent contact
A16
with blade resulting in a thrown workpiece and possibly
injury.
WARNING: Use caution when starting the cut to prevent
1/2" binding of the blade guard assembly against the workpiece
1/2" (12.7 mm)
resulting in damage to saw and possible injury.
CAUTION: When using a block as a cut-off gauge,
the block must be at least 3/4" (19 mm) thick and is very
important that the rear end of the block be positioned so the
workpiece is clear of the block before it enters the blade to
prevent contact with blade resulting in a thrown workpiece
and possibly injury.
1. Remove the rip fence and place the miter gauge in the
desired slot.
2. Adjust the blade height so that the blade is about 1/8"
(3.2 mm) higher than the top of the workpiece.
3. Hold the workpiece firmly against the miter gauge with
the path of the blade in line with the desired cut location.
Keep the workpiece an inch or so in front of the blade.
KEEP BOTH HANDS AWAY FROM THE BLADE AND
A12
THE PATH OF THE BLADE (Fig. 37).
