If the ripped work is less than 4 inches wide, a push stick
should always be used to complete the feed, as shown
in Fig. 108. The push stick can easily be made from
scrap material as explained in the section C O N-
STRUCTING PUSH STICK.
When ripping stock 2 inch-
es or narrower, assemble an auxiliary wood facing to the
fence, as explained in the section USING AUXILIARY
W O O D FACING ON THE UNIFENCE
and use a push
stick.
When ripping material with a veneer facing that extends
over the material, the fence (A) should be in the horizon-
tal position with the veneer (B) extending over the lip of
the fence, as shown in Fig. 109.
When ripping material with a veneer facing and the
material is not thick enough for the veneer to extend over
the lip of the fence or if the veneer facing (B) is on both
sides of the material, as shown in Fig. 110, the fence can
be positioned slightly above the surface of the table. The
veneer can be placed between the fence and the table
or the veneer can straddle the fence with the material

In some cases it may be desirable to use the fence on
the left side of the saw blade. This is easily accomplished
by repositioning the fence (A) Figs. 111 and 112, fence
clamp bar (B), and lock knobs (C) so that the fence (A)
will be attached to the right side of the fence body, as
shown in Fig. 112. The complete fence assembly (D)
Fig. 112, can easily be moved to the left side of the saw
table.
