Rip cutting
Note:
•
Rehearse every step of the cutting task without turning the saw on if you are
unsure how to hold the workpiece and work safely.
•
Make a test cut and measure before starting to rip cut on the actual workpiece.
•
Always let the saw come up to full speed before starting to cut.
•
Be extra careful at the beginning of every cut.
•
When rip-cutting thick workpieces where the saw blade is set to its maximum
height: check that the riving knife is set to its maximum height setting otherwise
there is a risk of the workpiece fastening on the blade guard. Refer to the Adjusting
the riving knife section.
•
Hold one side of the material against
the rip fence and the flat face against
the surface of the table.
•
Do not stand directly behind
the workpiece when rip cutting.
The workpiece can be thrown back
towards the operator.
•
Place your hands on the workpiece and
press it against the table and the rip
fence. Feed the workpiece into the blade
in a controlled and smooth motion.
•
Warning: Always use a push-stick
if any of your hands comes closer
than 125 mm to the saw blade
during the cutting process. Never
use a damaged push-stick, replace
a damaged stick before resuming work.
•
Leave the offcuts on the saw table until
the saw blade has completely stopped
rotating after the saw has been
switched off.
