MAKING CROSS CUTS AND RIP  
CUTS

 (fig 14)

Refer to TO MAKE THE BEST POSSIBLE 
CUT section for general instructions. 

When making a cross cut or rip cut, align 
your line of cut with the centre of the 
notch by the 0° indicator. Because blade 
thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut 
in scrap material along a guideline to 
determine how much, if any, the guideline 
must be offset to produce an accurate cut.

MAKING RIP CUTS 

(fig 15)

The combination blade provided with 
your saw is for both cross cuts and rip 
cuts. Ripping is cutting lengthwise along 
the grain of the wood.

When rip cutting a large sheet, use a 
straight edge (available separately).

1.  Secure the workpiece.

2.  Use C-clamps (available separately) to 

clamp a straight edge to the workpiece.

3.  Follow the instructions 

4.  Carefully guide the saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip cut.
