MACHINE USE 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.
RIPPING Ripping is cutting lengthwise through a board, (Fig. 55). 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. A THE SAW BLADE GUARD MUST BE USED.
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. The moulding head consists of a cutterhead in which can be mounted various shapes of steel knives, (Fig. 58).
SPECIAL ATTENTION SHOULD BE GIVEN THE GRAIN DIRECTION. MAKE ALL CUTS IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE GRAIN WHENEVER POSSIBLE. C A LW AY S I N S TA L L B L A D E G U A R D AFTER OPERATION IS COMPLETE. Fig. 61 USING 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.
USING AUXILIARY WOOD FACING ON RIP FENCE It is necessary when performing special operations such as when using the moulding cutterhead to add wood facing (A) Fig. 66, to one or both sides of the rip fence. Depending on the fence, the wood facing is attached to the fence either with wood screws through holes drilled in the fence (as shown in Fig. 66) or with two clamps. For most work, 3/4" stock is suitable, although an occasional job may require one-inch facing. A Fig. 66 CONSTRUCTING A FEATHERBOARD Fig.
CONSTRUCTING A PUSH STICK 1/2" SQUARES CUT OFF HERE TO PUSH 1/2" WOOD CUT OFF HERE TO PUSH 1/4" WOOD NOTCH TO HELP PREVENT HAND FROM SLIPPING MAKE FROM 1/2" OR 3/4" WOOD OR THICKNESS LESS THAN WIDTH OF MATERIAL TO BE CUT PUSH STICK When ripping work less than 4 inches wide, a push stick should be used to complete the feed and could easily be made from scrap material by following the pattern shown in Fig. 69.

MAINTENANCE KEEP MACHINE CLEAN LUBRICATION Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material. Apply household floor paste wax to the machine table and extension table or other work surface weekly.
