OPERATION

CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING

See Figure 14.

When making a cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut with the full length kerf indicator 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 guideline.

TO RIP CUT

See Figures 15 and 16.

Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the saw.

NOTE: You may also use the rip guide that is provided with the saw.

To install the rip guide:

Slide the rip guide into the slot as shown in figure 15.

Adjust the guide so that the “0” on the guide is aligned with the edge of your workpiece.

Secure the guide with the lock screw provided with the saw.

Follow these directions to rip cut.

Secure the workpiece.

Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using C-clamps.

Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip cut. NOTE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.
