LINE-OF-CUT INDICATORS
A line-of-cut indicator notch (Fig. 4 - 1) can be found at the front of the saw
base. This notch helps provide indication of where the cut will be occurring.
NOTE:
Since blade thicknesses vary, it is necessary to make test cuts along
a guideline in scrap material to determine the proper alignment of the guide-
line within the notch. This will help to obtain an accurate cut with blades of
various thicknesses.
INSTALLING THE RIP GUIDE
When cutting lumber lengthwise you are usually cutting along the wood’s
grain rather then across the grain. Cutting with the grain of wood is called
“ripping,” also known as a rip cut. Since rip cuts tend to be lengthy, it can
be difficult to accurately follow the guideline the entire distance of the cut.
To assist you in obtaining a straight rip cut, it is recommended to use the
included rip guide (Fig. 5 - 1).
To install the rip guide on your saw, perform the following steps:
1. Make sure that your tool is powered OFF and disconnected from the
power source.
2. The rip guide should be attached from the left side of the saw. Insert the
rip guide (Fig. 5 - 1) through all the slots on the saw base until it extends
out of the base.
3. Adjust the position of the rip guide for the desired width of cut.
4. Securely tighten the rip guide locking knob (Fig. 5 - 2) to hold the rip
guide in position.
CONNECTING DUST COLLECTION
Saw dust generated during cutting operations can be hazardous to your
health. Use a dust extraction system to collect the dust and chips.
1. Attach a dust bag or other dust extraction system (not included) onto the
dust port (Fig. 6 - 1). The dust port’s outer diameter is 1-1/2” (39.1mm);
the inner diameter is 1-3/8” (34.8mm).
