rip / circle cutting (figure i, j)
Ripping and circle cutting without a pencil line are easily done with
the rip fence / circle guide (not included - available at extra cost).
Using the screw supplied with the accessory guide, position as
shown in figure i and thread the screw into the shoe to clamp
the fence securely.
When ripping, position as shown in figure i and 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 as shown.
When circle cutting, adjust rip fence so that distance from blade
to hole in fence arm is at the desired radius and tighten screws.
Place saw so that hole in fence arm 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 fence arm. Using rip fence as a pivot
arm, begin cutting circle. For circle cutting, the cross bar should
be up, as shown in figure j.
Making a pocket cut (figure k),
it is not necessary to drill a pilot Hole:
• Mark the desired starting point.
• Tilt the tool forward and place the rounded front edge of the saw
shoe on the workpiece so the blade does not touch the surface.
• Switch the tool on and slowly feed the saw blade into the
workpiece at the desired starting point.
