Connect the cord to the power source and
turn the table saw “ON”. Let the blade reach
the full speed and feed the work-piece
through the blade using a push stick, until
the work-piece completely passes the saw
blade. See figure-29.
Figure-29 Ripping operation
After the work-piece is cut, let the blade
come to a complete stop and then remove
the cut-off pieces.
CROSSCUTTING
Cutting solid wood across the grain and
cutting plywood across the width of the
work-piece is called cross-cutting.
Remove the fence and mark the work-piece
where you want to start the cut. Set the
miter gauge to the correct angle. Place the
work-piece on the table so that the marked
point is aligned with the blade and the blade
is cutting the waste side of the line.
Connect the cord to the power source and
turn the table saw “ON”. Let the blade reach
its full speed and hold the work-piece
against the face of the miter gauge. Slowly
push the work-piece with the miter gauge
and until it is completely past the blade. Let
the blade come to a complete stop and
remove the cut-off work-pieces.

MITER CUTS
Miter cut is an angled crosscut performed in
the same manner as a crosscut, using the
miter gauge.
Place the face of the miter gauge against
the edge of the work-piece and miter gauge
bar across the face of the work-piece. Use
the bar as a guide and mark the angle of
cut with a pencil as shown in figure-31.
Place the miter gauge back into the T-slot
and hold the work-piece against the face of
the miter gauge. Push the work-piece with
the miter gauge slowly against the blade
until the work-piece is completely past the
blade.
WARNING!
Do not use your fingers to feed narrow
work-pieces into the blade. Always use a
push stick to prevent the possibility of
injury.
