G0605X/G0606X Extreme Series 12" Table Saw

-31-

To make a rip cut:

1. Review Preventing Kickback on Page 10

and take the necessary precautions to pre

vent kickback.

2. Joint one long edge of the workpiece on a

jointer.

3. DISCONNECT THE SAW FROM POWER!

4. Ensure that the blade guard and splitter or

riving knife is installed.

5. Set the fence to the desired width of cut on

the scale.

6. Adjust the blade height so the highest saw

tooth protrudes approximately

⁄4" above the

workpiece.

7. Set up safety devices such as featherboards

or other anti-kickback devices.

8. Rotate the blade to make sure it does not

come into contact with any of the safety

devices.

9. Plug the saw into the power source, turn it

ON, and allow it to reach full speed.

"Ripping" means cutting with the grain of the

workpiece. In other materials such as MDF or ply

wood, ripping simply means cutting lengthwise.

Ripping

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 kickback.

Non-Through and

Through Cuts

Non-Through Cuts

A non-through cut is a sawing operation where

the blade does not protrude above the top face of

the wood stock. Since non-through cuts require

the removal of the blade guard and splitter, the

riving knife must be installed. Dado cuts, rabbet

cuts, and resawing operations are non-through

cuts that can be performed with this table saw.

Non-through cuts have a higher risk of injury from

kickback because the splitter and blade guard

must be removed. Kickback is an event in which

the workpiece is propelled back towards the

operator at a high rate of speed. Always remem

ber to re-install the blade guard and splitter after

performing a non-through cut.

Through Cuts

A through cut is a sawing operation in which the

workpiece is completely sawn through. Ripping,

crosscutting, miter cuts, and angled cuts are all

through cutting operations. The blade guard and

splitter or riving knife must be installed during

through cuts.

Through cuts have a risk of kickback. Read,

understand, and follow instructions and safety

precautions for each type of cut to reduce the risk

of injury.

Safety precautions and instructions for each

type of cut are located on the following
