RIPPING
Ripping
is
the
operation
of
making
a
lengthwise
cut
through
a
board,
as
shown
in
Fig.
61,
and
the
rip
fence
(A)
is
used
to
position
and
guide
the
work.
One
edge
of
the
work
rides
against
the
rip
fence
while
the
flat
side
of
the
board
rests
on
the
table.
Since
the
work
is
pushed
along
the
fence,
it
must
have
a
straight
edge
and
make
solid
contact
with
the
table.
The
saw
guard
must
be
used.
The
guard
has
anti-kickback
fingers
to
prevent
kickback
and
a
splitter
to
prevent
the
saw
kerf
from
closing
behind
the
blade.
Start
the
motor
and
advance
the
work
holding
it
down
and
against
the
fence.
Never
stand
in
the
line
of
the
saw
cut
when
ripping.
Hold
the
work
with
both
hands
and
push
it
along
the
fence
and
into
the
saw
blade
as
shown
in
Fig.
61.
The
work
can
then
be
fed
through
the
saw
blade
with
one
or
two
hands.
After
the
work
is
beyond
the
saw
blade
and
anti-kickback
fingers,
the
hand
is
removed
from
the
work.
When
this
is
done
the
work
will
either
stay
on
the
table,
tilt
up
slightly
and
be
caught
by
the
rear
end
of
the
guard
or
slide
off
the
table
to
the
floor.
Alternately,
the
feed
can
continue
to
the
end
of
the
table,
after
which
the
work
is
lifted
and
brought
back
along
the
outside
edge
of
the
fence.
The
cut-off
stock
remains
on
the
table
and
is
not
touched
with
the
hands
until
the
saw
blade
is
stopped,
unless
it
is
a
large
piece
allowing
safe
removal.
When
ripping
boards
longer
than
three
feet,
it
is
recommended
that
a
work
support
be
used
at
the
rear
of
the
saw
to
keep
the
workpiece
from
falling
off
the
saw
table.
If
the
ripped
work
is
less
than
4
inches
wide,
a
push
stick
should
always
be
used
to
complete
the
feed,
as
shown
in
Fig.
62.
The
push
stick
can
easily
be
made
from
scrap
material
as
explained
in
the
section
“CONSTRUCTING
A
PUSH
STICK."
When
ripping
stock
2
inches
or
narrower,
assemble
an
auxiliary
wood
facing
to
the
fence,
as
explained
in
the
section
“USING
AUXILIARY
WOOD
FACING
ON
RIP
FENCE"
and
use
a
push
stick.

USING
ACCESSORY
MOULDING
CUTTERHEAD
Moulding
is
cutting
a
shape
on
the
edge
or
face
of
the
work.
Cutting
mouldings
with
a
moulding
cutterhead
in
the
circular
saw
is
a
fast,
safe
and
clean
operation.The
many
different
knife
shapes
available
make
it
possible
for
the
operator
to
produce
almost
any
kind
of
mouldings,
such
as
various
styles
of
corner
moulds,
picture
frames,
table
edges,
etc.
The
moulding
head
consists
of
a
cutterhead
in
which
can
be
mounted
various
shapes
of
steel
knives,
as
shown
in
Fig.
63.
Each
of
the
three
knives
in
a
set
is
fitted
into
a
groove
in
the
cutterhead
and
securely
clamped
with
a
screw.
The
knife
grooves
should
be
kept
free
of
sawdust
which
would
prevent
the
cutter
from
seating
properly.
