Ensure Straight Edge Guide
does not interfere with the
free movement of the lower guard and saw
blade. Straight Edge Guide contacting lower
guard or saw blade can cause property damage
and serious personal injury.
For longer straight cuts 5" or greater in width, it
is recommended to use a rip board guide. Clamp
or nail a straight edge piece of 1" lumber or an-
gle iron to the sheet as a guide. Use the left side
of the foot against the board as a guide. (Fig. 15)
Ensure the clamps do not in-
terfere with the free move-
ment of the saw.
Cutting Angled Materials
When cutting angle materials, such as angle
iron, U-channel materials, etc., tilt the tool back
to avoid having the lower guard rest on the an-
gle. Cut through the thinnest material section;
adjusting the cutting angle of the blade to do
so. (Fig. 16)
