basic saw operations
2.

Since
the work
is pushed
along the fence,
it must have a
reasonably
straight
edge
in
order
to
make
sliding
contact
with
the fence.
Also,
the work
must make solid
contact
with
the
table,
so that
it will
not
wobble.
Provide
a straight
edge,
even
if this
means
temporary
nailing
of an auxiliary
straight-edged
board
to the work.
If the workpiece
is warped,
turn
the hollow
side down.
Always
use the saw guard
and make sure the spreader
is
correctly
aligned
with
the saw kerf.
Wood
cut with
the
grain
tends
to spring
the kerf closed
and bind the blade
and a kickback
could
occur.
Stand
a little
to
one
side
of center
to
avoid
being
sprayed
with
sawdust
and to be clear of work
in case of
kickback.

When
ripping
short
or narrow
work,
always
use a push
stick
applied
to the section
of the workpiece
between
the blade
and fence
...
push the work
past the blade
so it is clear
of the blade. This procedure
will
minimize
the possibility
of kickbacks.
In-Ripping.
The radial
arm and bevel are indexed
at 0 ° and
locked,
but the
yoke
is turned
90-degrees
in a clockwise
direction
(viewed
from
above)
from
the crosscut
position.
Thus,
when
standing
in front
of the saw, the blade would
be rotating
counterclockwise.
After
positioning
the guard
and anti-kickback
mechanism
the workpiece
is fed from
the
right-hand
side
of the
saw. The
"In-Rip"
scale is on the
right-hand
side of radial
arm.
Out-Ripping.
The
radial
arm
and bevel are indexed
at 0 °
and
locked,
but
the
yoke
is
turned
90-degrees
in
a
counterclockwise
direction
(viewed
from
above),
from
the
crosscut
position.
When
standing
in front
of the saw, blade
would
be rotating
clockwise.
After
positioning
the guard
and anti-kickback
mechanism
the workpiece
is fed from
the
left-hand
side
of
the
saw,
as shown
in
figure
58.
The
"Out-Rip"
scale is on the right
hand side of radial
arm.

No. 6-
BEVEL
RIPPING
Bevel
ripping
is either
in-ripping
or out-ripping
as described
above, except
the saw blade
is tilted
out of perpendicular
to
the saw table
surface.
The radial
arm is indexed
at 0 ° and
locked,
the bevel
is set to the desired
bevel angle and the
yoke
is positioned
for
in-ripping
(saw
blade
at rear)
or
out-ripping
(saw
blade
at
front),
as
required.
All
requirements
and observations
applicable
to normal
ripping
operations
also apply
to bevel ripping.
DADOING
Instructions
for
operating
the Dado
Head are contained
in
booklet
furnished
with
the Dado Head.
The
saw arbor
is designed
for
dado
heads
up
to
13/16
inches
wide.
Do not
install
a wider
dado head on the arbor.
Take
several passes if required
dado
cut exceeds
13/16
inch.
When
installing
the
dado
head
on the
arbor,
ALWAYS
install
the
inside
"loose
collar"
first.
Be sure the teeth
of
the chippers
are placed
to fall in blade gullets,
and chippers
are approximately
equally
spaced around
the arbor.
DO
NOT
install
the
outside
loose
collar.
Make
sure
the
arbor
nut is tight.
Install
the arbor
next directly
against
the
outer
blade of dado
head.
For
best results
and to avoid
excessive
load on the motor,
NEVER
CUT
A
13/16"
WIDE
DADO0
DEEPER
THAN
3/4"
IN ONE
PASS.
MOLDING/SANDING
Ins[ructions
for operating
the Molding
Head are contained
in a booklet
furnished
with
the Molding
Head.
For
use of Molding
Head Cutter
or Drum
Sander
the rear
table
requires
an opening
for clearance.
Cut this opening
as
shown.
