safety. As with all power tools there is a certain
amount of hazard involved with the operation and
use of the tool. Using the tool with the respect and
caution demanded as far as safety precautions are
concerned will considerably lessen the possibility
of personal injury. However, if normal safety
precautions are overlooked or completely ignored,
personal injury to the operator can develop. It is
good practice to make trial cuts using scrap
material when setting up you saw for operation.
7.4 Crosscutting
Crosscutting requires the use of the miter gauge to
position and guide the work. Place the work
against the miter gauge and advance both the
miter gauge and work toward the saw blade, as
shown in Fig.30 The miter gauge may be used in
either table slot, however, most operators prefer
the left groove for average work. When bevel
cutting (blade tilted), use the table groove that does
not cause interference of your hand or miter gauge
with the saw blade guard.
Start the cut slowly and hold the work firmly against
the miter gauge and the table. One of the rules in
running a saw is that you never hang onto or touch
a free piece of work. Hold the supported piece, not
the free piece that is cut off. The feed in
crosscutting continues until the work is cut in two,
then the miter gauge and work are pulled back to
the starting point. Before pulling the work back it is
good practice to give the work a little sideways shift
to move the work slightly away from the saw blade.
Never pick up any short length of free work from
the table while the saw is running. A smart operator
never touches a cut-off piece unless it is at least a
foot long. Never use the fence as a cut-off gauge
when crosscutting. Never use the miter gauge in
combination with the rip fence.

7.5 Ripping
Ripping is the operation of making a lengthwise cut
through a board, as shown in Fig.31 , and the rip
fence is used to position and guide the work. One
edge of the work rides against the rip fence while
the flat side of the board rest on the table. Since
the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a
straight edge and make solid contact with the table.
The saw guard must be used. The guard has
anti-kickback fingers and a splitter to prevent the
saw kerf from closing.
Start the motor and advance the work holding it
down and against the fence. Never, stand in the
line of the saw cut when ripping. Hold the work with
both hands and push it along the fence and into the
