Bevel Ripping Narrow Work - RIDGID TS3650 Operator's Manual

.SP6498 Belt Drive Saw 05/03
Basic Saw Operations (continued)
When "width of rip" is narrower than 2"
the push stick cannot be used because
the guard will interfere...use the auxiliary
fence and push block.
Use the T-slots in the rip fence to attach
the auxiliary fence. See "Work Feed
Devices/Attaching Wood Face Board"
section of this manual
Feed the workpiece by hand along the
auxiliary fence until the end is approxi-
mately 1" past the front edge of the table.
Continue to feed using the push block.
Hold the workpiece in position and install
the push block by sliding it on top of the
auxiliary fence/work support (this may
raise guard).
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
injury from blade contact never
thru-saw cuts narrower than 1/2"
wide.
Narrow strips thicker than the auxiliary
fence/work support may enter the guard
and strike the baffle. Carefully raise
guard only enough to clear the
workpiece. Use push block to complete
cut.

Bevel Ripping Narrow Work

When bevel ripping material 6" or
narrower, use fence on the right side of
the blade only. This will provide more
space between the fence and the
sawblade for use of a push stick. If the
fence is mounted to the left, the
sawblade guard may interfere with
proper use of a push stick.
