RIP CUTS
The combination blade provided with your saw
is for both cross cuts and rip cuts. Ripping is
cutting lengthwise with the grain of the wood.
Rip cuts are easy to do with a rip fence (Fig.
12). Rip Fence is available as an accessory (not
included). To attach fence, insert fence through
slots in foot to desired width as shown and
secure with the fastener (not included).
Ensure rip fence does not
interfere with the free
movement of the lower guard and saw
blade.
Rip fence contacting lower guard or
blade can cause property damage and serious
personal injury.
RIP BOARD GUIDE
When rip cutting large sheets, the rip fence
may not allow the desired width of cut. Clamp
or nail a straight piece of 1" (25 mm) lumber to
the sheet as a guide (Fig. 13). Use the right
side of the foot against the board guide.
Ensure the clamps do not
interfere with the free
movement of the saw.
