9. Do not reach over or behind the Blade 31 to
pull the work piece through the cut, to support
long or heavy workpieces, to remove small cut-
off pieces of material, or FOR ANY OTHER REA-
SON.
10. Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material
from the Table 13. REMOVE them by pushing
them OFF the Table 13 with a long stick. Oth-
erwise they could be thrown back at you by the
rear of the Blade 31.
11. Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material
that may become TRAPPED inside the blade
guard while the saw is RUNNING. THIS COULD
ENDANGER YOUR HANDS or cause a KICK-
BACK. Turn the saw OFF and disconnect power
source. After the Blade 31 has stopped turning,
lift the guard and remove the piece.
12. If workpiece is warped, place the CONCAVE
side DOWN. This will prevent it from rocking
while it is being ripped.
13. When the width of the rip is 6" (152 mm) or
wider, use your right hand to feed the work-
piece. Use your left hand only to guide the
workpiece. Do not feed the workpiece with the
left hand.
When the width of the rip is 2" to 6" (50 mm
to 152 mm) wide, use the Push Stick 8 to feed
the work.
When the width of the rip is narrower than 2"
(50 mm), the Push Stick 8 cannot be used be-
cause the Barrier Guard Assembly 26 will in-
terfere. Instead, use the Auxiliary Fence and a
Push Block.
14. When the width of the rip puts the Rip Fence
9 off of the Table 13, use the Flip-Over Fence
17, in the work support position to support the
workpiece near the fence.
Using the Flip-Over Fence
(Fig. 76, Fig. 77)
The Flip-Over Fence 17 can be set in two different
positions. The Upper Position 98 is used for cutting
thin workpieces when the Rip Fence 9 is on top
of the Table 13. The Lower Position 99 is used for
workpiece support when the Rip Fence 9 extends
beyond the Table 13 by more than 2" (50.8 mm).
Refer to Fig. 76 and Fig. 77 in appropriate location.
Note the location of the Flip-Over Fence Pin 100 in
each figure.

Rail Lock Lever
(Fig. 78)
The Rail Lock Lever 6 locks the Rip Fence Rails 10
in place, preventing Rip Fence 9 movement during
cutting.
To lock the Rail Lock Lever 6, push it down and
toward the rear of the saw.
To unlock the Rail Lock Lever 6, pull it toward the
front of the saw and up.
NOTE: When ripping, always lock the Rail Lock Le-
ver 6.
Rail Adjustment Knob
(Fig. 78)
The Rail Adjustment Knob 7 allows smaller adjust-
ments of the Rip Fence 9. Before using the Rail
Adjustment Knob 7, be sure the Rail Lock Lever 6
is unlocked.
