OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9. RipCutting/Cross-Cutting
When making a cross-cut or a rip cut, align the
guideline with the blade-guide notch (T) on the base,
as shown in Fig. 9. The distance from the saw blade
to the saw base is approximately 1-1/2 in. (3.8 cm)
on the left side of the saw and 4-1/4 in. (10.8 cm) on
the right side. Blade thicknesses vary, so you should
always make a trial cut in scrap material along a
guideline to determine how much the guideline must
be offset from the guide to produce an accurate cut.
NOTICE: The distance from the cutting line to the
guideline is the amount by which the guide should be
offset. Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts.
10. Cross-CuttingUsingaStraightEdge
a. Secure the workpiece.
b. Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using
C-clamps (not included).
NOTICE: Position the C-clamps so that they will not
interfere with the saw housing during the cut.
c. Press the lock-off button and depress the trigger
switch to start the saw.
d. Allow the blade to reach full speed, then guide the
saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
e. Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip
cut.
f. Release the trigger switch and allow the blade to
come to a complete stop.
g. Lift the saw from the workpiece.
NOTICE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.
