Using Auxiliary Fence & Push Block
1.
Place auxiliary fence on table and clamp
it to fence at both ends, then adjust dis-
tance between auxiliary fence and blade—
this determines how wide workpiece will be
ripped (see Figure 94).

2. Install blade guard, then secure spreader
pawls in upright position, as shown in Figure
56 on Page 37, so they do not interfere with
push block lip.
Keep the blade guard installed and in the
down position. Failure to do this could
result in serious personal injury or death.
3. Place workpiece 1" behind blade and evenly
against table and auxiliary fence.
