3.Attach rip fence to saw with the edge guide facing “up”. In order for the rip fence to cut a circle, the nail must be in alignment with the blade, as shown in (Fig. 14).
4.Measure the distance from the selected hole to the blade to be equal to the circle radius.
5.Insert plug into power source, hold the saw firmly, squeeze trigger and slowly push the saw forward. To make a hole, cut from inside the circle; To make wheels or discs, cut from the outside.
Cutting Tip: Cut slowly so the blade will stay straight in the cut. Place small wedges in the cut as shown in Fig. 13, to keep the inner circle from spreading when near the end of the cut.
