Make a 90° Cut
a. Mark your workpiece to the desired length (2).
b. Align the mark (2) with one edge of the saw kerf line (1), making sure that the workpiece is aligned to the blade
so the blade will cut through the cutoff (waste) portion of the board (marked with an X in the illustration), and
not through the side of the workpiece you want to keep.
c. Use the clamps (F) to help hold the workpiece on either side of the rails. In addition, use your hands to hold
your workpiece outside of the cutting surface.
WARNING
Do not reach behind the saw blade or the fence with either hand to hold down or support the
workpiece, remove wood scraps, or for any other reason while cutting. The spinning saw blade may be so close
to your hand that you may be seriously injured.
d. Align the front of your saw base to the rails and start the saw. Move the saw through the cut until you have cut
entirely through your workpiece (center of the blade at the Sure-Cut™ back board).
e. Stop the saw and release the trigger while the saw is still on the rails. Once the motor has stopped, lift your
saw and remove the workpiece and cutoff piece from the cutting station. This step keeps your kerf line true to
your saw.
WARNING
Do not cut pieces that are too small to be securely held or clamped.
WARNING
Always secure the workpiece with a firm grip ensuring your hand stays outside of the cutting area as
designated by the symbol.
