the flat side of the workpiece rests on the table. The
workpiece must have a straight edge to be pushed
along the fence and make the workpiece a solid contact
with the table.

• While the workpiece is fully on the table, it can be fed
through the saw blade with one hand.
• Do not touch the cut-off stock on the table with the
hands until the saw blade is stopped.
• If ripping the workpiece less than 4 inches wide, a
push stick should always be used to complete the feed.

Never pull the workpiece in the opposite direction of feed.
Never perform a back cut during the operation. If you do
not want to cut completely through the workpiece, turn off
the machine and wait until the saw blade has reached a
complete stop to remove the workpiece.
