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. 11). 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 thumb screw (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. 12).
Use the right side of the foot against the board guide.
