AND ADJUST

THE

RIP

SCALE:

(FIGURF 17)

There

are

two

basic

rip

positions,

the

"in

rip"

and

the

"out

rip".

The

rotating

arm

should

be

set

at

0°

for

both.

For

the

"in

rip"

location

turn

the

yoke

so

that

the

blade

is

at

the

rear

(see

Fig.

31),

that

is

with

the

blade

located

between

the

fence

and

motor.

For

the

"out

rip"

location

turn

the

yoke

so

that

the

blade

is

toward

the

front,

that

is

with

the

motor

between

the

fence

and

the

blade.

1.

Set

the

yoke

to

the

"in

rip"

position

as

shown

in

Fig.

17.

Place

a

carpentcr's

rule

or

12'

scale

against

the

fence.

2.

Lower

the

blade

until

it

is

just

above

the

scale

and

slide

the

carriage

in

or

out

until

the

sides

of

the

saw

teeth

facing

the

column

line

up

directly

above

the

4'

mark

on

the

carpenter's

scale.

Lock

the

cutting

head

in

this

location

with

the

carriage

clamp.

3.

Look

at

the

"in

rip"

reading

on

the

rip

scale.

If

it

does

not

read

exactly

4',

loosen

the

screws

at

both

ends

of

the

rip

scale

and

slide

the

scale

until

it lines

up

with

the

indicator

line

on

the

dust

cover

at

4".

Tighten

the

screws

in

each

end

of

the

rip

scale.

Your

scale

is

now

set

for

"in

rip"

as

well as

"out

rip"

readings.

COVERING

TABLE

TOP (FIGURE 18)

To

extend

the

life

of

your

table,

you

may

attach

2 pieces

of

1,4'

ply-

wood

as

shown

in Fig.

18.

This

plywood

covering

will

take

all

the

abuse

and

wear

which

your

table

would

ordinarily

receive,

and

can

be

replaced

much

easier

and

less

expensively.

The

plywood

covering

can

be

made

in 4

sections

(one

for

each

board)

or

in 2

sections

as

we

have

shown

here.

With

a 4

section

plywood

covering

you

can

make

more

arrangements

with

your

table.

However,

all

of

the

most

common

cuts

can

be

made

with

a 2

section

table

arrangement.

1.

Cut

I

piece

of

plywood

14" x 32"

to

go

over

the

8"

and

6"

table

sections.

Remove

the

front

table

section,

lay

it

on

top

of

this

sheet

even with

one

side,

put

a pencil

through

the

holes

and

mark

their

location

onto

the

plywood.

Drill

these

table

adjustment

holes

through

the

plywood

sheet.

2.

Cut

a

piece

of

plywood

I0Ys'

wide

x

32"

long

to

go

over

the

4Ys'

and

slotted

6"

sections.

Remove

the

6'

table

section,

lay it

on

the

plywood

even

with

one

side

and

trace

the

shaft

clearance

slot.

Cut

the

shaft

clearance

slot

in

the

plywood.

3.

Set

up

your

table

as

shown

in Fig.

18

and

tack

the

plywood

sheets

in place.
