Sequence of operations		Comments

1.	Prepare the working place.	Check for completeness.

2.	Place the material on the bench.

3.	Scribe the side line on the natural bevel and the width lines of the strips.	Consider the width allowance and the cuts.

4.	Clamp the workpiece in such a way that the cutting line runs parallel to the bench’s edge.	When cutting to length with the grain push-type cutting teeth are required; check the sharpness of the saw.

5.	Select and check the saw.

6.	Cut off the natural bevel (edging).

7.	Clamp the workpiece again.

8.	Cut off the strips.	Repeat until the required number of strips is produced.
