Resawing - Craftsman 113.295820 Owner's Manual

When WIDTH OF RIP is NARROWER than2 in., the push
stick CANNOT be used because the guard will interfere...
USE the AUXILIARY FENCE and PUSH BLOCK.
Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence with two "C" clamps.
Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is approx. 1 in.
from the front edge of the table, Continue to feed using the
PUSH BLOCK.
BAFFLE
When ripping narrow strips that may enter the guard and
strike the baffle, CAREFULLY raise guard only enough to
clear the workpiece. Use Push Block to complete cut.
RESAWING
RESAWING is known as ripping a I_iece of wood through
tts thickness. NOTE: to RESAW a piece of wood wider
than 2 in .... it will be necessary to remove the blade guard
•.. and use the AUXILIARY FENCE (See Page 18)
Do not attempt to resaw BOWED or WARPED material.
Clamp it to the table so that the workpiece will SLIDE
EASILY but not TILT or MOVE SIDEWAYS without
BINDING between the two fences•
Do not clamp directly to the bottom edge of the table
because the "swivel" of the clamps will not grip properly.
Place a small block of wood between the bottom edge of
the table and the "C" clamps.
WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY...
1. DO NOT "BACK UP" (REVERSE FEEDING) WHILE
RESAWlNG BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE A
KICKBACK.
2. INSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY UPON
COMPLETION OF THE RESAWlNG OPERATION.
