ALWAYS USE a push stick or 

push block, especially when ripping

detail. A pattern for making your own 

push stick is included on page 47.

blade sharp, the rip fence parallel 

to the saw blade and by keeping 

the riving knife, anti-kickback pawls 

and guards in place, aligned and 

functioning. Do not release work 

before passing it completely beyond 

the saw blade. Do not rip work that 

is twisted, warped or does not have 

a straight edge to guide it along the 

fence. Do not attempt to reverse out 

of a cut with the blade running.
