CUTTING
CAUTION: While operating the saw, be certain the base plate maintains constant contact with the
surface of the material you are cutting. If the base plate becomes separated from the material
during operation, it may cause the blade to break or the saw to kick back potentially resulting in
injury.
1. Straight Line Cutting
When cutting a straight line, use a straight edge to draw a marking gauge line and advance the
saw along that line. An optional guide (part # 13550.5521) may also be used to cut accurate
straight lines parallel to the edge of the material:
To insert the guide:
a) Unplug the saw.
b) Loosen the bolt in the footplate using the
allen wrench included with the saw – Fig 18.
c) Move the base fully forward and tighten the
bolt in the base plate – Fig 19.
d) Insert the guide by passing it through the
guides in the top of the base plate and
tighten the guide bolt to secure it in place –
