1. Straight cuts (Fig. 18, 19, 20 & 21)
When repeatedly cutting widths of 160 mm or less,
use of the rip fence will assure fast, clean, straight
cuts.
To install, insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole
on the side of the base with the fence guide facing

position, then tighten the bolt to secure it.
2. Circular cuts (Fig. 22, 23, 24 & 25)
When cutting circles or arcs of 170 mm or less in
radius, install the rip fence as follows.
Insert the rip fence into the rectangular hole on the
side of the base with the fence guide facing up. Insert
the circular guide pin through either of the two holes
on the fence guide. Screw the threaded knob onto the
pin to secure the pin.
Now slide the rip fence to the desired cutting radius,
and tighten the bolt to secure it in place. Then move
the tool base all the way forward.
NOTE:
• Always use blades No. B-17, B-18, B-26 or B-27
when cutting circles or arcs.
