Feed the workpiece by hand along the AUXLIARY

past the front edge of the table. Continue to feed using the

BLOCK by sliding it on top of the AUXILIARY
FENCE/WORK SUPPORT (this may raise guard).

RESAWING
RESAWING is known as ripplng a piece of wood through
its thickness. Do not attempt to resaw BOWED or
WARPED materiel. NOTE: to RESAW a piece of wood
wider than 2-1/2 in .... it will be necessary to remove the
blade guard . . . and use the AUXILIARY FENCE/WORK
SUPPORT (See Page 19 )
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
RESAWING BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE A
KICKBACK.
2. INSTALL BLADE GUARD IMMEDIATELY UPON
COMPLETION OF THE RESAWING OPERATION.
