Sample Video Transcript

Below is a transcript of the video sample provided for this module:

To make a rip cut, follow these steps. One, set the blade height about a half inch higher than the board to be cut. Two, set the rip fence at the desired width measurement from the blade. Three, move the blade guard into position. Four, lay the board on the table in front of the blade tight against the rip fence. Never let the board touch the blade until the saw comes up to full speed. Five, turn the saw on and let the blade come up to speed. Six, carefully feed the board to the saw blade. Stand to the side of the board and blade such that if the board were to kick back that it would not strike you.
