CROSSCUTTING AND BEVEL CUTS
Support the workpiece on a firm bench, saw horse, or other rigid support and
securely hold it in place. Extend the end to be cut off beyond and to the right
of the support. Clear the area beneath the line of cut of all objects that would
interfere with the blade protruding through the workpiece.
Place the front edge of the saw base squarely on the work and keep the tip of the
saw blade clear of the work. Depress the switch trigger and allow the saw motor
to reach full speed. Maintain the relationship of the notch in the front edge of the
base with a marked line on the workpiece. Advance the saw steadily through the
workpiece. Do not force the saw through the workpiece. At the completion of the
cut, release the switch trigger.
Bevel cuts are made in the same manner as cross-cuts, except that the saw base
is tilted to the desired angle. An optional protractor gauge (A) Fig. 9 is available
to aid in cutting compound angles. This gauge is also useful for crosscutting
operations.
RIPPING
Ripping is cutting wood lengthwise.
This operation is performed the same
as crosscutting with the exception of
supporting the workpiece. If the workpiece
is supported on a large table, bench,
or floor, several pieces of scrap stock
approximately one inch thick should be
placed beneath the workpiece to allow
clearance for the protruding section of the
blade. Large sheets of paneling or thin
plywood supported on saw horses should
have 2 x 4's placed lengthwise between the horses and the workpiece to prevent
it from sagging.
For narrow rip cuts, use the rip guide (A) Fig. 10 (available as an accessory). Guide
the saw by keeping the inner face of the rip guide (A) tight against the edge of the
board.
