Ripping
RIPPING is known as cutting a piece of wood with the grain, or
lengthwise. This is done using the rip fence. Activate the Digital
Display and set to the desired WIDTH OF RIP. Before starting to
rip, be sure:
A. Rip Fence is parallel to sawblade.
B. Spreader is properly aligned with sawblade.
C. Antikickback pawls are functioning properly.
When ripping LONG BOARDS or LARGE PANELS, always use a
work support. A simple one can be made by clamping a piece of
plywood to a sawhorse (Fig. 58).
Note: See pages 5-7 for Table Saw Specific Safety Rules.
