CUTTING LARGE SHEETS

Large sheets and long boards sag or bend, depending on support. If you attempt to cut without leveling and properly supporting the piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing KICK- BACK and extra load on the motor (Fig. 11).

Support the panel or board close to the cut, as shown in (Fig. 12). Be sure to set the depth of the cut so that you cut through the sheet or

board only and not the table or work bench. The two-by-fours used to raise and support the work should be positioned so that the broadest sides support the work and rest on the table or bench. Do not support the work with the narrow sides as this is an unsteady arrangement. If the sheet or board to be cut is too large for a table or work bench, use the supporting two-by-fours on the floor and secure.

RIP CUTS

The combination blade provided with your saw is for both cross cuts and rip cuts. Ripping is cutting lengthwise with the grain of the wood. Rip cuts are easy to do with a rip fence (Fig. 13). Rip Fence is available as an accessory (not included). To attach fence, insert fence through slots in foot to desired width as shown and secure with the wing nut (not included).

RIP BOARD GUIDE

When rip cutting large sheets, the rip fence may not allow the desired width of cut. Clamp or nail a straight piece of 1" (25 mm) lumber to the sheet as a guide (Fig. 14). Use the right side of the foot against the board guide.
