it to fence at both ends, then adjust dis-
tance between auxiliary fence and blade—
this determines how wide workpiece will be
ripped (see

2. Install blade guard, then remove right anti-
kickback pawl, as explained on
Page 32, so
it does not interfere with push block lip.
3. Place workpiece 1" behind blade and evenly
against table and auxiliary fence.
Keep blade guard installed and in down
position. Failure to do this could result in
serious personal injury or death.
4. Turn saw ON, then begin ripping workpiece
using a push stick for side support.
5. As workpiece nears end of cut, place push
block on auxiliary fence with lip directly
behind workpiece, then release push stick
just before blade.

push block, as shown in
Figure 90.
