KERF INDICATOR (FIG.9)
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator for vertical and bevel
cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the saw along cutting
lines penciled on the material being cut. The indicator lines up with
the left (inner) side of the saw blade, which makes the slot or "kerf"
cut by the moving blade fall to the right of the indicator. The ribs on the
front of the shoe are at 1/4" (6.35 mm) spacing. The notches on the
front of the shoe are at 1/2" (13 mm) intervals.
