Rip cutting using a straight edge:
1. Secure the workpiece.
2. Clamp a straight edge to the
workpiece using C-clamps.
NOTE:
Position the C-clamps so that
they will not interfere with the saw
housing during the cut.
3. Saw along the straight edge in order
to achieve a straight rip cut.
NOTE:
Do not bind the blade in the cut.
BEVEL CUTTING
To make the best possible cut:
1. Align the cutting line with the inner-blade-guide notch on the base when
making 45° bevel cuts.
2. Make a trial cut in scrap material along a guideline in order to determine the
amount to offset the guideline on the cutting material.
3. Adjust the angle of cut to any desired setting between 0° and 45°.
