Non-Through Cutting - Bosch GTS15-10 Operating/Safety Instructions Manual

Non-Through Cutting

(Fig. 1, Fig. 54, Fig. 64, Fig. 85)
Clamp the Auxiliary Facing se-
curely to the Rip Fence with-
out obstructing path of workpiece. Improper
clamping can lead to workpiece instability and
kickback.
Use Featherboards 101 for all "non through-saw-
ing" operations. (Barrier Guard Assembly 26 and
Anti-Kickback Device 27 must be removed and "Riv-
ing Knife set to the middle position.) Featherboards
101 are used to keep the work in contact with the
Rip Fence 9 and Table 13 and to stop kickbacks.
Be sure to securely clamp the Flat Facing Board
110 using C-clamps, or the Tall Rip Fence Auxiliary
Facing 106 using universal fence clamps, as shown
in Fig. 54 on page 39 to avoid damage to the Rip
Fence 9, workpiece instability and Kickback.
Add an 8" (203 mm) high Flat Facing Board 110
or a Tall Rip Fence Auxiliary Facing 106 to the Rip
Fence 9 that runs the full length of the Rip Fence 9
as shown in Fig. 85.
Mount Featherboards 101 to the Flat Facing Board
110, or Tall Rip Fence Auxiliary Facing 106, and
Table 13 as shown, so that the leading edges of
the Featherboards 101 will support the workpiece
until the cut is complete and the workpiece has
been pushed com pletely past the cutter (sawblade,
dado head, etc.) with the Push Stick 95, as in rip-
ping.
Before starting the operation, switch the saw OFF,
and set the cutter below the surface of the Table
13.

• Install Featherboards 101 so they exert pressure
on the work piece. Make sure they are securely
attached.
• Make sure by trial that the Featherboards 101
will stop a kick back if one should occur.
Featherboards 101 are not employed during non
through-sawing operations when using the Miter
Gauge 14.
Replace the Smart Guard System 11 as soon as the
non through-sawing operation is complete.
Rabbeting
(Fig. 65, Fig. 84, Fig. 85, Fig. 86)
out obstructing path of workpiece. Improper
clamping can lead to workpiece instability and
kickback.
RABBETING is cutting out a section of the corner of
a piece of material, across an end or along an edge.
Making a RABBET requires cuts which do not go all
the way through the material. Therefore the Smart
Guard System 11 must be removed.
1. Remove the Barrier Guard Assembly 26 and An-
ti-Kickback Device 27.
2. For RABBETING along an edge (the long way of
the workpiece):
• Attach the Tall Rip Fence Auxiliary Facing 106
(see "Making Tall Rip Fence Auxiliary Facing"
on page 45) to the Rip Fence 9 using two ta-
ble saw fence clamps as shown in Fig. 65. The
Tall Rip Fence Auxiliary Facing 106 should be
as high as the workpiece is wide.
• Adjust the Rip Fence 9 and Blade 31 to the
required dimensions.
• Make the first cut with the board flat on the
Table 13, using the set-up shown in Fig. 65.
• Make the second cut with the workpiece on
edge.
Follow all precautions, safety instructions, and
operation instructions for ripping or rip-type
9 9
operations, including the use of featherboards
and the Push Stick 8, etc.
3. For rabbeting across an end, for a workpiece
that's 10-1/2" (267 mm) or narrower:
• Make the rabbet cut with the board flat on the
Table 13.
• Using the Miter Gauge 14 fitted with a fac-
ing, follow the same procedures and instruc-
tions for crosscutting, making suc cessive cuts
