SAFETY WARNING!
Operation of the GRR-RIPPER 3D PUSHBLOCK system
includes the use of a table saw or other tools that are not part of the GRR-RIPPER.
Micro Jig, Inc. assumes no liability for any product not sold and manufactured by
Micro Jig, Inc. The user must take all necessary precautions when operating a table
saw or other tools as recommended by their manufacturers or as required by any
prudent tool user.
You must read and agree to the safety precautions and terms listed below before
using the GRR-RIPPER 3D PUSHBLOCK system. Your assembly of the GRR-RIPPER
3D PUSHBLOCK system indicates your agreement to follow these safety precautions
and terms when using this tool.
•
All components must be inspected for
damage and securely fastened before
every use . Stop using the tool if any
damage occurs .
•
In table saw operations, the rip fence
must be securely locked parallel to the
saw blade within the usable range of the
GRR-RIPPER 3D PUSHBLOCK system .
•
In table saw operation, the face of the
Side Leg on the right must be in full
contact with the rip fence at all times
in order to create a parallel guide for
forward feeding and inward pressure
against the rip fence .
•
In table saw operations, the GRR-
RIPPER 3D PUSHBLOCK system must
be used so it is in full contact with the
rip fence at all times, and the saw blade
MUST pass through and within the
tunnel between two of the legs .
•
The GRR-RIPPER 3D PUSHBLOCK
system includes three legs with non-slip
pads . A minimum of two legs MUST be
installed during any cutting operation .
•
Use at least one leg to the right and
one leg to the left of the saw blade
whenever possible .
•
Before every cut, the user must look
through from the end of the tool after
it is in an operational position to make
sure the cutter will go through the
tunnel between the legs throughout
the entire cutting operation, without
touching any component of the tool or
other objects except the workpiece .
•
Use maximum possible coverage of the
non-slip pads on the workpiece .
•
The GRR-RIPPER 3D PUSHBLOCK
system must be used in an absolute
stable condition . When a workpiece is
narrow and is not covered by the leg on
the left (away from fence), the Balance
Support must be secured to the left leg
so the bottom surface of the Balance
Support is in full contact with the table
top to secure the steadiness of the tool
during the entire cutting operation .
•
The non-slip pads placed on the top
surface of the workpiece must be in
full contact with the workpiece . The
user should frequently inspect the
effectiveness of the non-slip pads .
Remove built up dust as necessary with
denatured alcohol .
•
The bottom of the workpiece must be
flat enough so that it does not rock on
the table top . The top of the workpiece
must be flat enough so all non-slip
surfaces are in full contact with the top
surface of the workpiece .
•
Do not use this tool if any of the
components are damaged . Contact
your dealer or the manufacturer for
replacement parts .
•
When using this tool in conjunction with
any other tool, first read and follow all
instructions and safety information in
the owner’s manual for that tool .
•
When not in use, store this product on a
flat and clean surface .
•
Always wear safety glasses and hearing
protection . Follow all normal shop
safety practices .
•
Use saw blades that are designed for
the intended cutting operation .
•
When using only one GRR-RIPPER, the
user must have both hands on this tool
- one gripping the handle and the other
on top of the main body .
•
The machine tabletop used in
conjunction with this tool must be
flat and free from obstructions other
than the required fence and one
cutting element . The tabletop must be
reasonably level and below the waistline
of the user .
