OPERATION
CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING
See Figures 15 - 16.
When making a cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut
with the outer blade guide notch 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 guide.
TO RIP CUT WITHOUT EDGE GUIDE
See Figure 16.
Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the
saw.
NOTE: You may also use a edge guide to make rip cuts. Refer
to OPTIONAL EDGE GUIDE later in this manual.
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.
BEVEL CUTTING
See Figures 17 - 18.
To make the best possible cut, follow these helpful hints.
Align the line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on
the base when making 45° bevel cuts.
Make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline to
determine how much you should offset the guideline on
the cutting material.
Adjust the angle of the cut to any desired setting between
zero and 51.5°. Refer to TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING
next.
TO ADJUST BEVEL SETTING
See Figure 17.
Unplug the saw.
Loosen bevel adjustment knob.
Rotate motor housing end of saw until you reach desired
angle setting on bevel scale.
Tighten bevel adjustment knob securely.
WARNING:
Attempting a bevel cut without having the bevel
adjustment knob securely tightened can result in seri-
ous injury.
