CUTTING WITH A STRAIGHT EDGE
z_WARNING: ALWAYS clamp and support workpiece securely, i
ALWAYS maintain proper control of saw. Failure to clamp and support
I
workpiece and loss of control of saw could result in serious injury.
You can make an efficient rip guide by clamping a straight edge to your
workpiece.
1. Mark the position of the
side edge of the saw's
base (cutting platform)
and then securely clamp
the straight edge (sold
separately) on the mark
and parallel to the cut line.
2. As you cut, keep the edge
of the saw's base flush
against the straight edge and flat on the workpiece.
3. ALWAYS LET THE BLADE REACH FULL SPEED, then carefully guide
the saw into the workpiece. DO NOT bind the blade in the cut. Push the
saw forward at a speed where the blade is not laboring.
INSTALLING AND USING THE EDGE GUIDE
/kWARNING: ALWAYS unplug saw before making any adjustments.
Failure to unplug the saw could result in accidental starting which can
cause serious personal injury.
Your saw comes with an edge guide that is 7-inches long on the guide edge.
It allows you to make accurate parallel cuts when trimming a workpiece. It
attaches to the saw's base. The arm of the edge guide is stamped, on both
sides, 0 to 7 inches in 1/4-inch increments and 1 to 18 centimeters in 10-mm
increments for easy adjustment of your cut.
The edge guide can be used with the guide edge turned down to guide along
the edge of a workpiece for rip or cross cuts, or turned up to guide against a
wall for inside cuts.
1. Unplug the saw.
2. Position the edge guide so
the arm can slide into the
mounting slots at the front
of the saw's base, and
loosen the retaining screw.
3. Align the dimensions of
your edge guide ruler to
the cut line indicator.
4. Tighten the edge guide retaining screw.
