Page 22: Operating Procedures Ripping
Do not use the mitre gauge and rip fence in the same operation unless provision is made of a facing board on the fence to allow the cutoff section of the workpiece to come free before the cut is started. (See page 24). - Page 23 Never rip freehand or use the mitre gauge in combi- nation with the fence. Never rip workpieces shorter than the saw blade diameter without a push stick. Never remove the cutoff piece with the saw blade ro- tating. Always use the saw guard, splitter and anti-kick- back pawls and make sure the splitter is properly aligned.

Page 24: Resawing
RESAWING Resawing is a ripping operation in which thick boards are cut into thinner ones. Narrow boards up to 3" can be resawed in one pass. Wider boards up to 6" must be resawed in two passes. When resawing wider boards, adjust the saw blade height so it overlaps the two cuts by 1/2"... -
Page 25: Bevel And Mitre Operations
Adjust the saw blade height so it extends about 1/8" above the top of the workpiece. Raising the saw blade above this point increases the risk of injury. BEVEL AND MITRE OPERATIONS A bevel cut is a special type of operation where the saw blade is tilted at an angle less than 90 to the table top. -
