using the Auxiliary Fence and push
Block
1.
place the auxiliary fence on the table and
clamp it to the fence at both ends, then adjust
the distance between the auxiliary fence and
the blade—this determines how wide the
workpiece will be ripped (see Figure 89).
Figure 89. adjusting ripping distance between
blade and auxiliary fence.
2.
install the blade guard, then remove the
spreader pawls, as explained on page 39, so
they do not interfere with the push block lip.
Keep the blade guard installed and in the
down position. Failure to do this could
result in serious personal injury or death.

3.
place the workpiece 1" behind the blade and
evenly against the table and the auxiliary
fence.

workpiece through blade.
4.
turn the saw ON, then begin ripping the
workpiece using a push stick for side sup-
port.
as the workpiece nears the end of the cut,
place the push block on the auxiliary fence
with the lip directly behind the workpiece,
then release the push stick just before it is
even with the blade (see Figure 91).
guide the workpiece the rest of the way
through the cut with the push block, then re-
install the pawls on the spreader when cutting
operations are finished.

Turn the saw OFF and allow the blade to
come to a complete stop before removing
the cut-off piece. Failure to follow this warn-
ing could result in serious personal injury.
