OPERATION
CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING
See Figure 19.
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 20.
Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the
saw.
Follow these directions to rip cut:
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.
TO RIP CUT WITH EDGE GUIDE
See Figure 21.
Follow these directions to use the edge guide:
n Secure the workpiece.
n Position the face of the edge guide firmly against the
edge of workpiece.
n Guide the saw along the edge to achieve a straight rip
cut.
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.
