OPERATION
CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING
See Figure 14.
When making a cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut
with the full length kerf indicator on the base as shown in
the figure.
Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap
material along a guideline to determine how much, if any, you
must offset the guideline to produce an accurate cut.
NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is
the amount you should offset the guideline.
TO RIP CUT
See Figures 15 and 16.
Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the
saw.
NOTE: You may also use the rip guide that is provided with
the saw.
To install the rip guide:
n Slide the rip guide into the slot as shown in figure 15.
n Adjust the guide so that the "0" on the guide is aligned
with the edge of your workpiece.
n Secure the guide with the lock screw provided with the
saw.
Follow these directions to rip cut.
n Secure the workpiece.
n Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using
C-clamps.
n Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip
cut.
NOTE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.
