422-04-651-0064 - 06-20-05.qxd 6/20/05 1:44 PM Page 18 MACHINE USE COMMON SAWING OPERATIONS Common sawing operations include ripping and crosscutting plus a few other standard operations of a fundamental nature. As with all power machines, there is a certain amount of hazard involved with the operation and use of the machine. Using the machine with the respect and caution demanded as far as safety precautions are concerned, will considerably lessen the possibility of personal injury.
422-04-651-0064 - 06-20-05.qxd 6/20/05 1:44 PM Page 19 RIPPING Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a board, (Fig. 49). NOTE: Be sure the material to be cut is seasoned, dry and flat. The rip fence (A) is used to position and guide the work. One edge of the work rides against the rip fence while the flat side of the board rests on the table. Since the work is pushed along the fence, it must have a straight edge and make solid contact with the table. The saw blade guard must be used.
422-04-651-0064 - 06-20-05.qxd 6/20/05 1:44 PM Page 20 B A When ripping material with a veneer facing that extends over the material, the fence (A) should be in the horizontal position with the veneer (B) extending over the lip of the fence, as shown in Fig. 53 Fig. 53 When ripping material with a veneer facing and the material is not thick enough for the veneer to extend over the lip of the fence or if the veneer facing (B) is on both sides of the material, as shown in Fig.
422-04-651-0064 - 06-20-05.qxd 6/20/05 1:44 PM Page 21 ACCESSORY MOULDING CUTTERHEAD USING MOULDING CUTTERHEAD Moulding is cutting a shape on the edge or face of the work. Cutting mouldings with a moulding cutterhead is a fast, safe and clean operation.The many different knife shapes available make it possible for the operator to produce almost any kind of mouldings, such as various styles of corner moulds, picture frames, table edges, etc.
422-04-651-0064 - 06-20-05.qxd 6/20/05 1:44 PM Page 22 USING THE ACCESSORY DADO HEAD The blade guard and splitter assembly cannot be used when dadoing or moulding. It must be removed or swung to the rear of the saw as described in “USING ACCESSORY MOULDING CUTTERHEAD” SECTION. Auxiliary jigs, fixtures, push sticks and feather boards should be used. 1. 2. Dadoing is cutting a rabbet or wide groove into the work. Most dado head sets are made up of two outside saws and four or five inside cutters, (Fig.
422-04-651-0064 - 06-20-05.qxd 6/20/05 1:45 PM Page 23 USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON RIP FENCE When performing special cutting operations – and that operation may cause the cutting implement to contact the fence – it is necessary to add a wood facing (A) Fig. 145, to one side of the rip fence as shown. The wood facing is attached to the fence with wood screws through holes drilled in the fence. 3/4-inch stock is suitable for most work, although an occasional job may require one-inch facing.
