10” Industrial Cabinet Saw
Using Your Saw
Continue pushing the workpiece toward the back of the saw until it clears the anti-kickback pawls on the
spreader. Turn off the motor. Do not attempt to remove the cut-off portion until the blade has come to a
complete stop.
When ripping pieces longer than
approximately 4 feet, use rollers,
an out-feed table or a similar
support to prevent the workpiece
from dropping off the back of the
table.
When making non-through cuts, the blade guard and spreader must be removed. For these cuts, install the
riving knife (except when making dado cuts) and use one or more featherboards to hold down the workpiece
and help prevent kickback. (See page 80 for instructions on making a featherboard.) The featherboard should
be clamped to the rip fence. Alternatively, the featherboard can be clamped to an extender board that is
clamped or screwed to the rip fence as
shown in Fig. 44. Although not shown in
the illustration, a second featherboard
can be clamped to the top of the table and
against the left side of the workpiece to
hold the workpiece against the rip fence.
