OPERATION
CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING
See Figure 15.
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
See Figures 16 - 17.
Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the
saw.
To rip cut using optional edge guide:
Slide edge guide into the slot.
Align the guideline with the blade guide notch on the
base.
Adjust the guide so that the “0” on the guide is aligned
with the edge of the workpiece.
Secure the guide with the lock knob provided with the
saw.
Secure the workpiece.
Position the face of the edge guide firmly against the edge
of workpiece.
NOTE: 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.
Saw along workpiece keeping guide firmly against edge
to achieve a straight rip cut.
To rip cut using a straight edge:
Secure the workpiece.
Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using
C-clamps.
NOTE: Position C-clamps so they will not interfere with
the saw housing during the cut.
Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip
cut.
NOTE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.
