USING THE RIP FENCE
Ripping, bevel ripping, resawing, and rabbeting
are performed using the rip fence together with
the auxiliary fence/flip-over fence, push stick, or
push block.
WARNING
cutting, and gloves when handling saw
blades.
WARNING
following safety precautions.
a. Never make these cuts freehand (without
using the rip fence or auxiliary devices when
required) because the blade could bind in the
cut and cause a kickback.
b. Always lock the rip fence securely when in
use.
c. Make sure that the smart guard system is
installed for all through sawing type cuts.
d. Frequently check the action of the antikick-
back device by passing the workpiece
alongside of the riving knife while saw is off.
Pull the workpiece toward you. If the pawls
do not dig into the workpiece and hold it, the
pawls must be replaced or sharpened.
e. Have the blade extend approximately 1/8"
above the upper surface of workpiece.
Additional blade exposure would increase the
hazard potential.
RIP FENCE AUXILIARY FACING (FIG. 28)
When using dado accessories, an auxiliary
facing board should be used. This will help
prevent damage to the aluminum rip fence. The
facing should be made of 3/4-inch-thick wood.
Parts Required:
3/4" thick wood board (solid or plywood) cut to
•
size.
Two (2) clamps.
•
The facing is made to the same height
•
(2-3/4") as the fence and can work with the
smart guard system in place when moving the
fence to contact the blade. Use two clamps to
clamp the 3/4-inch-thick wood board to the rip
fence.
NOTE: The auxiliary facing board, should also
be used when cutting material less than 3/16"
thick.
Always wear eye and
hearing protection during
For your own safety,

f. Remove the miter gauge from table during
any operations that utilize the rip fence.
g. Do not stand directly in front of the blade in
case of a kickback. Stand to either side of the
blade.
h. Keep your hands clear of the blade and out of
the path of the blade.
i. If the blade stalls or stops while cutting, turn
the switch off before attempting to free the
blade.
j. Do not reach over or behind the blade to pull
the workpiece through the cut, to support long
or heavy workpieces, to remove small cut-off
pieces of material, or for any other reason.
k. Do not pick up small pieces of cut-off material
from the table. Remove them by pushing them
off the table with a long stick, otherwise they
could be thrown back at you by the rear of the
blade.
l. Do not remove small pieces of cut-off material
that may become trapped inside the barrier
guard while the saw is running. This could
endanger your hands or cause a kickback.
Turn the saw off and disconnect the battery
pack. After the blade has stopped rotating, lift
the guard and remove the piece.
m. If the workpiece is warped, place the concave
side down. This will prevent it from rocking
while it is being ripped.
