LENGTH OF CUT SCALE

See Figure 20.

The saw is equipped with a length of cut scale on its base. It is parallel with the saw blade and you can use it to measure the distance the blade cuts into the material.

NOTE: Six inches is the maximum length of cut that you can measure. Also, it is accurate only when the depth of cut is set at full maximum depth.
