RIP CUTTING
Basic rip cutting operations are undertaken
utilising the ripping fence, to set the distance
between the blade and the fence (the ripping
width).
1.
Set the desired width by aligning
fence to the markings on the included
ripping guide (near the front of the
fence), or by measuring between
fence and blade, then lock the fence
in position.

2.
Set and lock the blade guide to a
height approximately 6mm above
your workpiece and adjust both the
blade tension bearing guides (upper
and lower) as shown in the setup
instructions.

3.
Start the machine, waiting until
it is running at full speed, before
presenting the timber to the blade.
4.
Hold the timber positively against the
fence, while then pushing the timber
slowly forward into and through the
blade. If the machine slows or labours
under the load, slow your feeding
speed to allow the machine to keep
its blade speed as high as possible.

Ensure you are wearing AS/NZS approved PPE (dust mask or respirator, eye protection
and hearing protection). Remember to avoid placing your hands anywhere near the
cutting area, and make sure you have push sticks, push blocks in close proximity.
