TO RIP CUT
OPTIONAL RIP GUIDE (EDGE GUIDE)
See Figure 23.
Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with your saw.
An optional rip guide with a five inch scale is available or you
can make an efficient rip guide by clamping a straight edge
to your workpiece. Secure the workpiece. Using C-clamps,
firmly clamp a straight edge to the workpiece and guide the
saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip cut. Do
not bind the blade in the cut. If using the optional rip guide,
see the following instructions and figure 24.
TO ASSEMBLE OPTIONAL RIP GUIDE
See Figure 24.
■ Remove battery pack from saw.
WARNING:
Failure to remove battery pack from saw could result in
accidental starting causing possible serious personal
injury.
■ Place rip guide through holes in saw base as shown in
figure 24.
■ Adjust rip guide to the width needed.
■ Tighten rip guide screw (wing screw) securely.
When using a rip guide, position the face of the rip guide
firmly against the edge of workpiece. This makes for a true
cut without pinching the blade. The guiding edge of workpiece
must be straight for your cut to be straight. Use caution to
prevent the blade from binding in the cut.
