CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING
See Figures 16 - 17.
When making a cross cut or rip cut, align your line of cut with
the outer blade guide notch on the saw base.
Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap
material along a guideline to determine how much, if any, the
guideline must be offset to produce an accurate cut.
NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is
the amount you should offset the guide.
Secure the workpiece.
Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using
C-clamps.
Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip
cut.
NOTE:
Do not bind the blade in the cut.
USING THE EDGE GUIDE
See Figure 18.
Use an edge guide when making long or wide rip cuts with
the saw.
Remove the battery pack from the saw.
Place the edge guide through the holes in the saw base
Adjust the edge guide to the width needed.
Tighten the wing screw securely.
When using an edge guide, position the face of the edge
guide firmly against the edge of workpiece. This makes for a
true cut without pinching the blade. The guiding edge of the
workpiece must be straight for your cut to be straight. Use
caution to prevent the blade from binding in the cut.
