2. Carefully guide the saw along the straight
edge for a straight rip cut.
3. Push the saw forward slowly enough that
the blade is not laboring.
EDGE GUIDE
The saw comes with an edge guide. It allows
you to make accurate parallel cuts.
The edge guide attaches to the saw base and is
secured in place with a turn screw.
USING THE EDGE GUIDE
Always use a guide when making long or wide
rip cuts with your saw. You can use either a
straight edge or use the edge guide that was
included with the saw.
WARNING: Always unplug the saw before
making any adjustments. Failure to unplug the
saw could result in accidental starting, which
can cause serious personal injury.
1. Unplug the saw from the power source.
2. Position the edge guide so that the ruler side
of the arm is facing up. Slide the arm of the
edge guide through the mounting slots at the
front of the saw base.
3. Adjust the edge guide to the desired width
of cut.
4. Tighten the edge-guide lock knob.
When using the edge guide, position the face
of the edge guide firmly against the edge of
the workpiece. This will help to make a true
cut without binding the blade. The edge of the
workpiece must be straight for the cut to be
straight. Use caution to prevent the blade from
binding in the cut.
