CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING
See Figure 16.
When making a cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut with
the outer blade guide notch on the base.
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.
RIP CUTTING
See Figure 17.
Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the
saw.
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.
WIDTH OF CUT SCALE
See Figure 18.
A width of cut scale has been provided on the base of your
saw. When making straight cross cuts or rip cuts, the scale
can be used to measure up to four inches to the right side
of the blade. It can be used to measure up to one inch to
the left side of the blade.
