OPERATION

MAKING A BEVEL RIP CUT

See Figure 41.

It  is  recommended  that  you  make  test  cuts  on  scrap 
wood.

WARNING:

The rip fence must be on the right side of the 
blade to avoid trapping the wood and causing 
kickback. Placement of the rip fence to the left 
of the blade will result in kickback and the risk 
of serious personal injury.

WARNING:

Make sure the blade guard assembly is installed 
and working properly to avoid serious personal 
injury.

  Unlock  the  bevel  locking  lever  and  move  height/bevel 

adjusting  handwheel  until  bevel  indicator  is  at  desired 
angle.

  Push the bevel locking lever toward the table to relock 

it.

  Set the blade to the correct depth for the workpiece.

 

Position the rip fence the desired distance from the right 
side of the blade and lock down the lever.

  If ripping a piece larger than 36 in. long, place a support 

the same height as the table surface behind the saw for 
the cut work.

  Make sure the wood is clear of the blade before turning 

on the saw.

  Position the workpiece flat on the table with the edge 

flush against the rip fence. Let the blade build up to full 
speed before feeding the workpiece into the blade.

  Using a push stick and/or push blocks, slowly feed the 

workpiece toward the blade. Stand slightly to the side of 
the wood as it contacts the blade to reduce the chance 
of injury should kickback occur. 

  Once the blade has made contact with the workpiece, use 

the hand closest to the rip fence to guide it. Make sure 
the edge of the workpiece remains in solid contact with 
both the rip fence and the surface of the table. If ripping a 
narrow piece, use a push stick to move the piece through 
the cut and past the blade.

  When the cut is made, turn the saw off. Wait for the blade 

to come to a complete stop before removing any part of 
the workpiece.

  After the blade has stopped completely, remove the cutoff 

stock.
