When the ripping width is greater than 300mm, and with care,
both hands can be used to guide/feed the material through the
saw. The operators left hand will be to the LH side of the saw
blade. The operators right hand will be close to the rip fence on
the RH side of the saw blade. Hands should never be in line with
the blade.
7. Bevel ripping
When bevel ripping material 150mm or narrower use the rip
fence on the RH side of the blade only. See Fig 32.
