CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING

See Figure 18.

When making a cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut

with the outer blade guide notch on the base as shown in

the figure.

Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in scrap

material along a guideline to determine how much, if any, you

must offset the guideline to produce an accurate cut.

NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is

the amount you should offset the guide.

TO RIP CUT WITHOUT EDGE GUIDE

See Figure 19.

Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the

saw.

Follow these directions to rip cut.

n Secure the workpiece.

n Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using

C-clamps.

n Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip

cut.

NOTE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.

TO RIP CUT WITH EDGE GUIDE

See Figure 19.

Follow these directions to use the edge guide.

n Secure the workpiece.

n Position the face of the edge guide firmly against the

edge of workpiece.

n Guide the saw along the edge to achieve a straight rip

cut.

NOTE: The guiding edge of the workpiece must be straight

for your cut to be straight. Use caution to prevent the

blade from binding in the cut.
