CAUTION!
Avoid kickback by pushing only on the section of workpiece
that will pass between the blade and the fence.
WARNING!
To prevent serious injury:
• Never use the mitre gauge when ripping.
• Never use more than one rip fence during a single cut.
• Do not allow familiarity with or frequent use of your table saw
to cause careless mistakes. Remember that even a fraction of
a second of carelessness is enough to cause a severe injury.
• Keep both hands away from the blade and path of the blade.
• When ripping, the workpiece must have a straight edge
against the fence, and must not be warped, twisted or bowed.

PUSH STICK (Fig. 37)
Push sticks are devices used for safely pushing a workpiece through the blade instead of
using your hands. They can be made from scrap wood in various sizes and shapes to be
used in a specific project. The stick must be narrower than the workpiece, with a 90°
notch in one end and shaped for a grip on the other end.
RIPPING (Fig. 38)
• Remove the mitre gauge, and secure the rip fence
to table.
• Adjust the blade so that it is approximately 1/8"
(3.2 mm) higher than the workpiece.
• Hold the workpiece flat on the table and against the
fence. Keep the workpiece approximately 1"
(2.5 cm) away from the blade.
• Turn the saw On, and allow the blade to come up to
full speed.
• Slowly feed the workpiece into the blade by pushing
forward only on the section of the workpiece that
will pass between the blade and the fence.
• Keep your thumbs off the table top. When both of
your thumbs touch the front edge of the table,
complete the cut using a push stick.
• The push stick should always be used when the
ripped workpiece is 2" (5 cm) wide or narrower.
• Continue to push the workpiece with the push stick
until it passes the blade guard and clears the rear of
the table.
• Never pull the workpiece back while the blade is
turning. Turn the switch Off. When the blade comes
to a complete stop, raise the anti-kickback pawls on
either side of the riving knife, if necessary, and then
slide the workpiece out.
