6. Blade should be sharp and correctly set.
7. Hands must be kept wellaway from saw blade.
8. When ripping narrow or short stock, always use a push
board.
OPERATION NO. 5 -- OUT-RIPPING
AND IN-RIPPING
1. Ripping is the process of sawing the workpiece by feed
ing it into the saw blade when using the fence as a guide
and as a positioning device to obtain the desired width
of cut.
WARNING: NEVER RIP FREE-HAND. BEFORE
RIPPING, MAKE SURE THE GUARD, SPREADER
AND ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS ARE SET UP
PROPE R LY. ALSO, MAKE SURE THE SAW
BLADE IS PARALLEl WITH THE FENCE. NEVER
RIP WORKPIECES SHORTER THAN THE SAW
BLADE DIAMETER.
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 work-
piece is warped, turn the hollow side down,
3. Always use the saw guard and make sure the spreader is
correctly aligned with the saw kerr. Wood cut with the
grain tends to spring the kerr closed and bind the blade
and a kickback could occur.
4. Stand a little to one side of center to avoid being
sprayed with sawdust and to be clear of work in case of
kickback.
5. 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.
Out-Ripping (See figure 41.1 The bevel is indexed and
locked at 0 °. The yoke is turned 90-degrees in a counter-
clockwise direction (viewed from above), from the crosscut
position. When you are standing in front of the saw, the
blade will rotate clockwise. Before positioning the guard
chute and anti kickback pawls, lower the blade to just cut
into the table. After positioning the guard chute and
anti-kickback pawls, the workpiece is fed from the chute
(left-hand) side of the guard, as shown. The "Out Rip"
scale is on the left-hand side of the radial arm,
OPERATION NO. 6 -- BEVEL RIPPING
Bevel ripping is either in-ripping or out-ripping as de_ribed
preceding, except the saw blade is tilted out of perpendicu-
lar to the saw table surface. Figure 42 shows a typical bevel
out-ripping operation. The bevel is set to the desired bevel
angle, and the yoke is positioned for in-ripping or out
ripping, as required. All requirements and observations
applicable to normal ripping operations also apply to bevel
ripping.
