Step 1: Connect the Edge Guide to the Rail
Step 2: Mount your Circular Saw on the Sled
Remove the clear tape covering the recess in the edge guide
(A)
,
remove the two self-tapping screws
(B)
, and use them to secure
the edge guide to the rail
(C)
. Orient the edge guide for right-hand
or left-hand operation as shown.
Loosen the set screws
(D)
in the base-plate clamps
(E)
so
your saw base plate can slide under them. With your saw
disconnected from power, position it on the sled
(F)
with the
front of the saw base plate against the step at the front of
the sled. For saws with the blade on the left-hand end of the
motor, center the blade in the left sled slot. For saws with the
blade on the right-hand end of the motor, center the blade
in the right sled slot. To accommodate different saw base-
plate configurations, there are two holes for attaching each
base-plate clamp to the sled. For the most secure clamping,
choose the holes that provide widest spacing allowed by your
saw. The clamps can be oriented at an angle. To relocate a
clamp, loosen the machine screw
(G)
to free the hex nut
(H)
in the recess in the bottom of the sled. Relocate the clamp,
position the hex nut in the corresponding recess, and tighten
the machine screw. Tighten the set screws onto the saw base
plate. Make sure the set screws are tight enough to securely
hold your saw, but do not over tighten. Make sure the saw
blade guard operates freely.

guards and safety devices in place.
• Wear proper eye, ear, and respiratory protection when operating
your saw.
• Use a sharp blade designed for the type of material you
are cutting.
• Always disconnect your saw from power before making
adjustments to the saw or Rip-Cut™.
• Check the cursor alignment before you cut.
• Ensure that the saw blade will not contact the edge guide
during the cut.
• Do not attempt a cut when any part of the Rip-Cut™ interferes
with the operation of the saw blade guard.
• Make sure both the workpiece and the cutoff piece are
fully supported.
• Adjust the saw so the blade protrudes ⅛"
[3mm]
through the
workpiece during the cut.
• Keep your hands away from the saw blade during operation.
• Do not use excessive force when cutting. Maintain a steady
and controlled pace.
• Maintain your tools and accessories. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, loose fasteners, broken parts, and
any other condition that may affect safe operation. If an unsafe
condition is discovered, correct it before use.
