10• Always use "work helpers" such as push sticks andpush blocks when cutting small or narrowworkpieces, or when the dado head is hidden fromview while cutting.Work helpersPush sticks, push blocks or auxiliary fence are types of"work helpers". Use them to make safe, sure cutswithout the need for the operator to contact the bladewith any part of the body.Push block120mm(4-3/4")300mm(12")130mm(5")50mm(2")6mm(1/4")300mm(12")130mm(5")100mm(4")50mm(2")9.5mm(3/8") 50mm(2") 8mm(5/16")123 4006219Use a 19 mm (3/4")piece of plywood.Handle should be in center of plywood piece. Fastenwith glue and wood screws as shown. Small piece 9.5mm (3/8")x 8 mm (5/16") x 50 mm (2") of wood mustalways be glued to plywood to keep the blade fromdulling if the operator cuts into push block by mistake.(Never use nails in push block.)Auxiliary fence9.5mm(3/8")19mm(3/4")120mm(4-3/4")40mm(1-1/2")140mm(5-1/2")460mm(18")1006211Make auxiliary fence from 9.5 mm (3/8") and 19 mm(3/4") plywood pieces.RippingCAUTION:• When ripping, remove the miter gauge from thetable.• When cutting long or large workpieces, alwaysprovide adequate support behind the table. DONOT allow a long board to move or shift on thetable. This will cause the blade to bind andincrease the possibility of kickback and personalinjury. The support should be at the same height asthe table.1. Adjust the depth of cut a bit higher than thethickness of the workpiece.0090382. Position the rip fence to the desired width of ripand lock in place by pivoting the grip.3. Turn the tool on and gently feed the workpieceinto the blade along with the rip fence.(1) When the width of rip is 150 mm (5-15/16")and wider, carefully use your right hand tofeed the workpiece. Use your left hand tohold the workpiece in position against the ripfence.009039(2) When the width of rip is 65 mm - 150 mmwide, use the push stick to feed theworkpiece.1. Face/edgeparallel1.
