▪
Depending on the thickness of the material to be cut, the higher side of the fence rail (a)
has to be used for thick material (work piece thickness above 25 mm) and the lower side
of the fence rail for thin material (work piece thickness below 25 mm).
▪
For the adjustment, loosen the bolts on the side of the rip fence (7) and push the fence rail
(a) on the guide, depending on the required position.
▪
Tighten the bolts again.
9.5.2
Setting the cutting width (Fig. 9)
▪
The rip fence (7) must be used for lengthwise cutting of wood.
▪
Place the rip fence (7) on the guide rail (b) to the right or left of the saw blade.
▪
On the guide rail for the rip fence (7) there are 2 scales (c/d) which display the gap
between the fence rail (a) and the saw blade (11).
▪
Set the rip fence (7) to the required specification on the sight-glass (e) and secure it with
the locking handle for the rip fence.
9.6
Using the table width extension (Fig. 10)
▪
The table width extension (8) should always be used for particularly wide work pieces.
▪
Loosen the locking handle (a) and pull out the table
9.7
Ripping
▪
Remove the miter gauge, and secure the rip fence to the table.
▪
Raise the blade until it is approximately 1/8” (3.2 mm) above the top of the work piece.
▪
Place the work piece flat on the table and against the fence so that the larger portion of
the work piece is between the blade
and the fence. Keep the work piece approximately 1”
(2.5 cm) away from the blade.
▪
Turn the saw ON, and wait for the blade to reach full speed.
▪
Slowly feed the work piece into the blade by pushing forward on the section of the work
piece that will pass between the blade and the fence
▪
Do not place your thumbs on the table top. Always hold the work piece while the blade is
turning. Do not let go of it in order to reach for the push stick. When both thumbs touch the
front edge of the table, complete the cut using a push stick.
▪
Always use the push stick when performing ripping operations.
▪
Continue to push the work piece with the push stick until it passes the blade guard and
clears the rear of the table.
▪
Do not pull the work piece backward while the blade is turning. Turn the switch OFF, and
unplug the power cord. Wait until the blade comes to a complete stop and slide the work
piece out.
9.8
Bevel ripping
Bevel ripping is the same as ripping, except that the blade bevel angle is set to an angle other
than “0”.
The workpiece and the fence must be on the right side of the blade when
cutting.
9.9
Ripping small pieces
Avoid injury caused by contact with the blade. Do not use this saw to make
through-
cuts that are narrower than 1/2” (13 mm).
▪
It is not safe to rip small pieces. Instead, rip a larger piece in order to obtain the size of the
desired piece.
