10.1 CUTTING METHODS – FIGS. 30 - 32
RIPPING:
– Secure the mitre gauge with rip fence to the front
rail of the table.
– Raise the blade to 5mm higher than the top of the
work piece.
– Hold the work piece flat on the table and against
the fence. Keep the work piece about 25mm back
from the blade.
CAUTION: The work piece must have a straight edge
against the fence and must not be warped, twisted or
bowed in any way.
– Keep both hands away from the blade and away
from the path of the blade.
– Turn the saw on and allow the blade to reach full
speed.
– Keeping the work piece against the table and
fence, slowly feed the work piece towards the saw
blade.
– Stand with your body to one side of the work piece
and at the front of the table when feeding the
wood. This will reduce the risk of injury should a
piece of wood kickback or kick up.
– Continue pushing the work piece until it is clear of
the guard. Do not overload the motor. Never try to
pull a work piece back with the blade turning. Turn
the switch off, allow the blade to stop and slide the
work piece out. As the end of the work piece
approaches the blade use the push stick provided to
complete the cut and push it clear.
FIG.30
10. BASIC TABLE SAW OPERATION
RIPPING SMALL/FLAT PIECES OF WOOD:
– This is an unsafe practice and not recommended. It
is not safe to have your hands close to the blade.
Instead, rip a large piece of material to obtain the
desired size.
– When a small piece requires ripping use a push stick
to hold the work piece in place, keeping your hands
away from the blade.
BEVEL RIPPING:
– This operation is the same as ripping except that
the blade angle is set to an angle greater than 0°.
WARNING: Only operate with the work piece and rip
fence on the right side of the blade to reduce the risk
of kickback.
