(2)  When the width of rip is narrower than 40 mm, 

the push stick cannot be used because the 
push stick will strike the top blade guard. Use 
the auxiliary fence and push block. 
Install securely the auxiliary fence which is 
secured to the rip fence holder on the table. 
Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is 
about 25 mm from the front edge of the top 
table. Continue to feed using the push block 
on the top of the auxiliary fence until the cut is 
complete.
