7. Operation & Sawing Practice
- cont.
Workpiece Support
Good workpiece support is essential on a table saw. Additional supports
should always be used if the workpiece overhangs the table. Roller stands
are ideal for this purpose and should be used at both infeed and outfeed
ends of the machine.
A rip fence, cross cut fence or mitre fence should be used to support the
workpiece during the cutting action
Fig 7.6A, B & C
.
During angled or shallow work the auxiliary fence should be re-fitted into
the low position to aid the use of a push stick and to stop the blade fouling
on the fence
Fig 7.7A & B
.
Use of a Push Stick
A push stick should always be used when making any cut less than 300mm
in length or when feeding the last 300mm of a longer cut. the leading hand
should never be closer than is necessary to the front of the saw and hands
should never be in line with the saw blade.
A push-stick should always be used to remove the cut piece from between
the saw blade and fence.
Setting the Saw Guard
The saw guard should be adjusted as close to the workpiece as possible
Fig 7.8
.
Setting the Rise & Fall
The rise and fall must be adjusted so the saw guard is as close to the
workpiece as possible. However the teeth should project through the top of
the workpiece at all times.
Fig 7.8
. The rise and fall is operated using the
large handwheel on the front of the machine

.
Setting the Blade Tilt
To tilt the blade in order to achieve a bevelled edge unscrew the locking
handle on the front of the machine and turn the small handwheel on the
side of the machine until blade is positioned as required
