The operator or bystanders may be struck by flying stock, or the operator’s hands can be pulled into the blade during the kickback. Figure 42. Typical 45° rip cut. Figure 41. Blade tilted to 45° (guard removed for photo clarity). Rip Cuts Rip cuts or "Ripping" means cutting with the grain of the workpiece. In other materials such as MDF or plywood, ripping simply means cutting lengthwise. To make a rip cut, do these steps: 1. Review Preventing Kickback on Page 11 and take the necessary precautions to prevent kickback. 2. Joint one long edge of the workpiece on a jointer. 3. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER! 4. Use the scale to set the fence to the desired width of cut. 5. Adjust the blade height so the teeth protrude approximately 1.4" above the workpiece. 6. Set up safety devices such as featherboards or other anti-kickback devices. 7. Rotate the blade to make sure it does not come into contact with any of the safety devices. 8. Plug the saw into the power source, turn it ON, and allow it to reach full speed. 9. The jointed edge of the workpiece must slide against the fence during the cutting operation. 10. Using a push stick, feed the workpiece through the saw blade, as shown in Figure 40, until the workpiece is completely past the saw blade. Blade Tilt/Bevel Cuts The blade can tilt anywhere between 0° and 45°, and the blade guard tilts with the blade. Figure 41 shows an example of the blade when tilted to 45°, and Figure 42 shows and example of a typical 45° rip cut. When using the tilting mechanism: • Never tilt the blade while it is moving. • Slow your feed rate down. • Make sure the blade does not touch the table insert before starting the saw. OPERATIONS -27 W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw Cross Cuts Cross Cuts or "Crosscutting" means cutting across the grain of the workpiece. In MDF or particleboard, crosscutting is cutting across the width of the workpiece. To crosscut using the miter gauge, do these steps: 1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER! 2. Remove the rip fence and position the miter gauge, adjusted to 90°, in a miter slot. 3. Adjust the blade height so the teeth protrude approximately 1.4" above the workpiece. 4. Slide the miter gauge near the blade and adjust the workpiece so the blade will cut on the waste side of the line. 5. Plug in the tablesaw, turn it ON, and allow it to reach full speed. 6. Hold the workpiece firmly against the face of the miter gauge and ease it into the blade as shown in Figure 43. Miter Cuts A miter is an angled crosscut. Miters are usually cut in th same manner as 90. crosscuts, using the miter gauge and a predetermined mark on the workpiece. To cut a miter, do these steps: 1. Determine the angle of your cut and mark it across your workpiece. Tip: A correctly calibrated miter gauge makes mark ing angles easy. Place the face of the miter gauge against the edge of the workpiece, so the bar goes across the face of the workpiece, and use the bar as a guide (see Figure 44) to pencil in your cut. 2. With miter gauge in the table slot, hold the workpiece against the miter gauge body and align the mark to the blade. 3. Make the cut in the same manner as described in the Cross Cuts instructions. Serious injury can be caused by kickback. Kickback is a high-speed expulsion of stock from the tablesaw toward an operator. The operator or bystanders may be struck by flying stock, or the operator’s hands can be pulled into the blade during the Figure 43. Typical cross cut. Figure 44. Using the miter gauge to mark the angle of a miter cut. OPERATIONS -28 W1677/W1711 10" Table Saw Dado Cuts Commonly used in furniture joinery, a dado is a straight channel cut in the face of the workpiece. Dadoes can be cut using either a dedicated dado blade or a standard saw blade. The table saw motor may be pushed to its limits when making a dado cut. If the motor starts to bog down, slow down your feed rate. To use a stacked or wobble dado blade, do these steps: 1. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER! 2. Remove the table insert, the blade guard, and the saw blade. 3. Attach and adjust the dado blade system according to the dado blade manufacturer’s instructions, install the table insert for dado blades. 4. Raise the dado blade up to the desired depth of (depth of dado channel desired). When cutting dadoes, take more than one pass to reduce the of kickback. 5. Adjust the fence as necessary to align the blade the desired location of the dado. 6. Reconnect the power and cut the dado. Note: When dadoing across a workpiece, use the miter gauge and carefully line up the desired cut with the dado blade. DO NOT use the fence in com bination with the miter gauge. DO NOT make a through-cut with a dado blade. Dado blades are not designed for through cuts. Failure to follow this warning could result in seri- ous personal injury. The danger of kickback increases rela- tive to the depth and width of a cut. Reduce the risk of kickback by making multiple passes to achieve the desired depth of cut. Failure to follow these warning...
