RIP FENCE AND CIRCLE CUTTING GUIDE
This accessory is available at an extra cost. It
is used for fast and accurate straight and
circle cutting (Fig. 7).
ATTACHING RIP FENCE
1. Insert bar of rip fence through the slots
provided in foot, from either side of foot with
the edge guide facing down (Fig. 7).
2. Thread the clamp screw through threaded
hole in tab on either the left or right side of
foot, and securely tighten clamp screw with a
screwdriver against rip fence bar (Fig. 7).
METAL CUTTING
When cutting metal clamp material down. Be
extra certain that you move the saw along
slowly. Use lower speeds. Do not twist, bend,
or force the blade. If the saw jumps or
bounces, use a blade with finer teeth. If the
blade seems clogged when cutting soft metal,
use a blade with coarser teeth.
For easier cutting, lubricate the blade with a
stick of cutting wax, if available, or cutting oil
when cutting steel. Thin metal should be
sandwiched between two pieces of wood or
tightly clamped on a single piece of wood
(wood on top of the metal). Draw the cut lines
or design on the top piece of wood.
When cutting aluminum extrusion or angle
iron, clamp the work in a bench vise and saw
close to the vise jaws.
When sawing tubing and the diameter is
larger than the blade is deep, cut through the
wall of the tubing and then insert the blade
into the cut rotating the tube as you saw.
