Screw
FIGURE 8
The
nut
and screw shown above are included with this Accessory. Position
the
nut
as shown and thread the screw
into
it
just
enough
to
hold the nut
loosely in position.
Pull up on the screw and slide the Rip Fence under the nut from either side
of
the saw. Set the
crossbar
at desired distance from blade and tighten screw.
For ripping, the cross bar should
be down as shown. For circle cutting, the
cross bar should
be
up.
When ripping; insert rip fence in
either
side
of
saw; adjust
to
width
of
cut
and tighten screw. When circle cutting, insert rip fence from either side with
cross bar facing up. Adjust rip fence so that distance from blade
to
hole in
cross bar (hole closest
to
center
of
arm and in line with front
of
saw blade)
is
the desired radius and tighten screw. Place saw so that center
of
hole in
cross bar is over center
of
circle
to
be
cut (make pocket cut, drill hole
for
blade
or
cut inward from edge
of
material to get blade
into
position). When
saw is properly positioned, drive a small nail through hole in cross bar closest
to
the center
of
the arm (in line with front
of
saw blade). Using rip fence
as
a pivot arm, begin cutting circle.
