Making Straight Cuts
Eye injury hazard! Always
wear safety glasses when
using this machine.
There are generally two types of cuts made with
this saw—straight cuts and plunge cuts.
Straight cuts are made with the blade already
extended, with the cut beginning on one edge of
the workpiece and ending on the opposite side.
These cuts work well for cutting objects into sepa-
rate pieces and for straight-lining rough lumber.
To make basic straight cuts:
1.
Set the depth of cut (as described in the
Setting Cutting Depth section on Page 19).
2.
Position the front of the saw onto the
workpiece, leaving enough room for the
blade to fully extend from the bottom without
coming into contact with the workpiece, as
shown in Figure 17.

workpiece for a straight cut.
