5.4 Using the Rip Fence and Cross-cut Gauge
The rip fence is used for making straight, parallel cuts. Position it at the desired distance from the blade and lock it in place. The cross-cut gauge (miter gauge) is inserted into the table slot and used for making accurate cross-cuts and angled cuts across the width of the workpiece.
5.5 Kucheka Kushanda
Place the workpiece firmly on the table. Turn on the machine and allow the blade to reach full speed. Feed the workpiece slowly and steadily into the blade, applying even pressure. Always keep your hands away from the blade path and use a push stick when necessary.
