under RIPPING. The yoke is clamped at right angle to
the track arm with the blade guard facing the rear of the
machine. The cuttinghead is positioned on the in-rip
scale to the desired setting and clamped in position. The
workpiece is fed from the right side of the saw. Fig. 66,

Note the push stick is being used due to the narrow
