Ripping

CAUTION:
• When ripping, remove the miter gauge from the table.
• When cutting long or large workpieces, always provide adequate support
behind the table. DO NOT allow a long board to move or shift on the
table. This will cause the blade to bind and increase the possibility of
kickback and personal injury. The support should be at the same height
as the table.
1. Adjust the depth of cut a bit higher than the thickness of the workpiece.

2. Position the rip fence to the desired width of rip and lock in place by piv-
oting the grip. Before ripping, make sure the rear end of the rip fence is
secured firmly. If it is not secured enough, follow the procedures in the
section titled "Installing and adjusting rip fence".
3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpiece into the blade along with
the rip fence.
