    However, if you overlook or ignore normal safety precautions, personal injury can result. The following information describes the safe and proper method of performing the most common sawing operations. The use of attachments and accessories not recommended by Delta may result in the risk of injury. CROSS-CUTTING Cross-cutting requires the use of the miter gauge to position and guide the work.
  • Page 19 RIPPING Ripping is the operation of making a lengthwise cut through a board (Fig. 46), and the rip fence (A) is used to position Fig. 46 and guide the work. One edge of the work rides against the rip fence while the flat side of the board rests on the table. Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a straight edge and make solid contact with the table.
  • Page 20 For certain cutting operations such as dadoing and moulding where you are not cutting completely through the workpiece, DO NOT USE the blade guard and splitter assembly. Always return and fasten the blade guard and splitter assembly to its proper operating position for normal through-sawing operations.
  • Page 21 Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into a workpiece. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside saws and four or five inside cutters (Fig. 52). Various combinations of saws and cutters are used to cut grooves from 1/8" to 13/16"...
