Realign tool on new cut line, and start cut again. Attempt to avoid positioning which exposes operator to chips and particles being ejected from the tool. Use eye protection to help avoid injury.

The sight grooves in the base makes it easy to check the distance between the front edge of the blade and the workpiece whenever the blade is set to the maximum depth of cut.

Set the base on the workpiece to be cut without the blade making any contact. Then turn the tool on and wait until the blade attains full speed. Now simply

The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against the side of the workpiece and secure it in position with the screw on the front of the base. It also makes repeated cuts of uniform width possible.
