3. If the size or shape of the workpiece would cause your hands to be within 6" (152.4 mm) of the saw blade, use a push stick to complete the cut (Fig. 53) The push stick can easily be made from scrap material as explained in the section Constructing A Push Stick. 4. Ripping narrow pieces can be dangerous. If possible, rip the narrow piece from the larger piece. If the workpiece is short enough, use a pushboard. (A pushboard can be constructed as shown in Fig. 54 and used as shown in Fig. 55.) NOTE: In Fig. 55, the guard and splitter have been removed for clarity. Use the guard and splitter when ripping. 5. For longer pieces, use one or more pushsticks to avoid placing your hands between the fence and the blade. Always use care to avoid binding narrow strips between the anti-kickback pawls and the splitter. NOTE: Some special operations (moulding cutterhead, etc.) require the addition of an auxiliary wood facing to the fence, as explained in the section Using Auxiliary Wood Facing, and use of a push stick. 3/4" (19 mm) plywood Width of saw + 2" (51 mm) 3-5/8" (92.1 mm) TOP VIEW 4" (101 mm) 1" (25.4 mm) 3/8" (9.5 mm) 1" (25.4 mm) 2-1/4" (57.2 mm) 2" x 4" (51 mm x 101 mm) block 2" x 4" (51 mm x 101 mm) block 6" (152 mm) Fig. 52 Fig. 53 Fig. 54 Fig. 55 A 23 BEVEL RIPPINg Before connecting the table saw to the power source or operating the saw, always inspect the blade guard assembly and splitter for proper alignment and clearance with saw blade. Check alignment after each change of bevel angle. When possible, place the fence on the right side of the blade so that the blade is tilted away from the fence and hands. Keep your hands clear of the blade and use a pushstick to feed the workpiece if there is less than 6" (152 mm) between the fence and the blade. Use caution when starting the cut to prevent binding of the guard against the workpiece. Bevel ripping (Fig. 56) is the same as ripping except the bevel angle is set to an angle other than 0°. USINg A MOULdINg CUTTERHEAd To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs. An accidental start-up can cause injury. The splitter and blade guard assemblies cannot be used when dadoing. It must be removed as described in Blade guard and Splitter Use section. Use EXTREME care when using the dado without the blade guard assembly and splitter. Use pushsticks, hold-downs, jigs, fixtures or featherboards to help guide and control the workpiece when the guard cannot be used. Fig. 56 Fig. 57 Never use a molding cutterhead (A) Fig. 59 in a bevel position. Always use the proper molding cutterhead throat plate (B). Never run the stock between the fence and the molding cutterhead. Irregular-shaped wood will cause kickback. To reduce the risk of injury, always return and fasten the splitter and blade guard assemblies to the proper operating position for normal through sawing operations. Also, be sure the standard throat plate is back in position. Fig. 58 W H g give special attention to the grain direction. Make all cuts in the same direction as the grain whenever possible. Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the workpiece with a special moulding cutterhead. The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can be mounted various shapes of steel knives (Fig. 57). Each of the three knives in a set is fitted into a groove in the cutterhead and securely clamped with a screw. Keep the knife grooves free of sawdust to allow the cutter to seating properly. NOTE: The outside arbor flange cannot be used with the moulding cutterhead. Tighten the arbor nut against the cutterhead body. Do not lose the outside arbor flange. It will be needed when reattaching a blade to the arbor. 1. You can easily attach a moulding cutterhead (A) Fig. 59 to the saw arbor. Also, you must use the accessory moulding cutterhead throat plate (B) in place of the standard throat plate. 2. When using the moulding cutterhead, add wood-facing (C) to the face of the rip fence (Fig. 60). The wood-facing is attached to the fence with wood screws through holes which must be drilled in the fence. Stock that is 3/4" (19 mm) inch thick is suitable for most work, although an occasional job may require 1" (25.4 mm) facing. 3. Position the wood-facing over the cutterhead with the cutterhead below the surface of the table. Turn the saw on and raise the cutterhead. The cutterhead will cut its own groove in the wood-facing. Fig. 60 shows a typical moulding operation. To reduce the risk of injury, always return and fasten the splitter and blade guard assemblies to the proper operating position for normal through sawing operations. Also, be sure the standard throat plate is back in position. 24 Fig. 59 AB Fig. 59 AB USINg AN ACCESSORY dAdO HEAd To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power source before installing and removing accessories, before adjusting or when making repairs...
