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