the cut.
u

the cut.

Hints for optimum use
u
As some splintering along the line of cut on the top side of
the workpiece cannot be avoided, cut on the side where
splintering is acceptable.
u
Where splintering is to be minimised, e.g. when cutting
laminates, clamp a piece of plywood onto the top of the
workpiece.
Using the sight guide (fig. D)

u
Align the centre of the guide (22) with the cutting line (21).
