EDGE GUIDE

Use the edge guide provided with your saw when mak- ing wide rip cuts. A five inch scale has been provided on the edge guide. When using the width of cut scale on the base in combination with the edge guide, cuts can be made up to 6 in. to the left of the edge guide or 8-7/8 in. to the right of the edge guide.

The edge guide helps prevent the blade from twisting in a cut. The blade twisting in a cut can cause kickback.

INSTALLING EDGE GUIDE

nPlace edge guide through holes in saw base.

nAdjust edge guide to the width needed.

nTighten edge guide screw (wing screw) securely.

NOTE: When using a edge guide, position the face of the edge guide firmly against the edge of workpiece. This makes for a true cut without pinching the blade. The guid- ing edge of workpiece must be straight for your cut to be straight. Use caution to prevent the blade from binding in the cut.
