C-Clamp
The combination blade provided with your
saw is for both cross cuts and rip cuts.
Ripping is cutting lengthwise along the grain
of the wood.
When rip cutting a large sheet, use a straight
edge (available separately).
1. Secure the workpiece.
2. Use C-clamps (available separately) to
clamp a straight edge to the workpiece.
3. Carefully guide the saw along the
straight edge to achieve a straight rip
cut.
MAKING A BEVEL CUT (FIG. 18)
FIG. 18
45° Indicator
1. Secure workpiece with clamps.
2. Draw a line of cut on the workpiece.
3. Unplug the saw.
OPERATION
4. Adjust and secure the saw at desired
bevel angle.
5. Connect the power cord of your circular
saw to a standard power outlet.
6. When making a bevel cut, hold the saw
firmly with both hands.
7. Rest the front edge of the base on the
workpiece. Depress the trigger switch
to start the saw. Allow the saw to reach
full speed before attempting to make a
cut.
8. After completing the cut, release the
trigger switch and allow the blade to
come to a complete stop. After the
blade has stopped, remove the saw
from the workpiece.
NOTICE: There is a notch in the saw base
to help you line up the blade with the line of
cut when making 45° bevel cuts. Align your
line of cut with the center of the notch by
the 45° indicator.
