Test Report No.: 17702074 003
Part I of II
Workpiece supports and guides
Workpiece guides and fences
The machine shall be fitted with an adjustable rip fence to
allow the cutting of different workpiece widths.
The workpiece guiding part of the rip fence shall:
a) be made from plastic, light alloy or wood if there is a
possibility of contact with the saw blade;
b) be adjustable in the direction of the cutting line so that
its out-feed end can be moved forward to a point in line
with the front edge of the riving knife, and rearwards to
a point at table level which is in line with the first cutting
tooth of the largest saw blade for which the machine is
designed and adjusted to the maximum cutting height;
c) after adjustment, remain in a vertical plane and be
parallel to the cutting line of the saw blade where a
deviation ek > ej from exact parallelism is necessary in
order to prevent jamming (see Figure 13);
d) be either:
1) manufactured from a single component, having two
guiding surfaces one with a high position for deep
cutting and the other with a low position for shallow
or angled cutting (see Figure 14), or
2) consist of two components, one, with a high guiding
surface for deep cutting and the other with a low
guiding surface for shallow or angled cutting. These
The rip fence has two
guiding surfaces. Details
