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