2. Ripping or Rip Cutting
This is the term used for cutting timber in the same
direction as the grain, i.e usually lengthwise.
To assist in producing a straight, true cut, a RIP
FENCE is used. This may be positioned to the right or
left of the saw blade, and may be adjusted to suit
the width of cut required, and firmly secured in
place, ensuring it is parallel to the blade, by
screwing in the rip fence handle.
When the width of rip is 150mm (6”) and wider use your RIGHT HAND to FEED the workpiece, use LEFT
HAND only to GUIDE the workpiece, do not feed the workpiece with the left hand. (Fig.12).
NOTE: With the Rip Fence mounted on the left of the blade, the reverse is true.
When width of rip is 50 - 150mm (2”- 6”) wide use a
push stick to feed the work. (Fig.13).
When width of rip is narrower than 50mm (2”), the
push stick cannot be used because the guard will
interfere. It is therefore necessary to use an auxiliary
fence, and push block together as shown in fig. 15.
(SEE PAGE 18 FOR RIP FENCE & AUX. FENCE)
Attach auxiliary fence to rip fence with two ‘G’
clamps as shown in fig 14.
Feed the workpiece by hand until the end is
approximately 1” from the front edge of the table.
Continue to feed using the push block on top of
auxiliary fence until the cut is complete.
3. Rip Cutting a Bevel.
By tilting the saw blade (by up to 45
O
), it is possible
to rip cut a bevel in your work. To do this, set the
blade angle by slackening off the Blade Tilt Lock
knob, and position the blade using the angle gauge
and pointer mounted on the front of the machine.
(If absolute accuracy is required, check the blade
angle with a protractor).
When bevel ripping material 150mm (6”) or
narrower, use the fence on the RIGHT SIDE of the
blade ONLY. This will provide more space between
the fence and the saw blade for the use of a push
stick. If the fence is mounted to the left, the saw
blade guard may interfere with proper use of a push
stick.
NOTE: Your saw is equipped with positive stops for fast and
accurate positioning of the saw blade at 90 and 45
degrees to the table. Should these stops become out of
alignment, they may be readjusted according to the
instructions given under ‘Maintenance’
