PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER
• ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN OPERATING THE SAW BLADE

BLADE
Yes, you will be cutting through the back fence of your scale base and partially into the
wooden cutting block. You should be using a carbide tipped blade (not the standard cross cut blade
that usually comes with a saw) but, you do not have to buy a special metal cutting blade. A carbide
tipped blade designed for cutting wood moulding will not be harmed as you make these 2 initial cuts.
BECAUSE OF THE DESIGN OF OUR SYSTEM, WHERE THE SCALE MOUNTS TO THE TOP OF
YOUR SAW ( guaranteeing a level cutting bed at all times) YOU MUST SET A DEPTH STOP ON
YOUR SAW TO LIMIT HOW DEEPLY YOU CAN CUT. You must never cut all the way through the
cutting block and base or you will destroy the integrity of the system!
Refer to the instructions for your particular saw to see how to control the maximum cutting depth.
You should see references to terms such as: adjusting bolt, stop screw, bevel stop, slotting depth
etc. These should direct you to areas under the head of your saw where by adjusting a bolt or
replacing with a longer bolt, you can control the depth of your cuts - the bolt serving as a stop as
you lower the saw head.
