MAKING RIP CUTS
Always use a guide when
making long or wide rip cuts
with your saw. You can use
either a straight edge or use
the edge guide that was
included with your saw.
USING A STRAIGHT EDGE
WARNING: Always se-
curely clamp and support
the workpiece. Always
maintain proper control of
the saw. Failure to clamp
and support the work-
piece, combined with loss
of control of the saw, could
result in serious injury.
You can make an efficient
rip guide by clamping
a straight edge to your
workpiece.
1. Always allow the blade
to reach full speed,
and then carefully
guide the saw into the workpiece. Do not bind the blade in the cut.
2. Carefully guide the saw along the straight edge for a straight rip cut (Fig. 12).
3. Push the saw forward slowly enough that the blade is not laboring.
EDGE GUIDE
The saw comes with an edge guide. It allows you to make accurate parallel
cuts. The edge guide attaches to the saw base and is secured in place with a
turn screw.
USING THE EDGE GUIDE
Always use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with your saw. You can
use either a straight edge or use the edge guide that was included with the saw.
