easier operation and longer blade life. For cutting aluminum, kerosene is preferred.
RIP & CIRCLE CUTTING
Ripping and circle cutting without a pencil line are easily done with the a rip fence and
circle guide (available at extra cost).
When ripping, slide the rip fence under the screw from either side of the saw. Set the
cross bar at desired distance from blade and tighten screw. For ripping, the cross bar
should be down and against the straight edge of the workpiece.
When circle cutting, adjust rip fence so that distance from blade to hole in cross bar
is at the desired radius and tighten screw. Place saw so that hole in cross bar is over
center of circle to be cut (drill hole for blade or cut inward from edge of material to get
blade into position). When saw is properly positioned, drive a small nail through hole
in cross bar. Using rip fence as a pivot arm, begin cutting circle. For circle cutting, the
cross bar should be up.
