CROSSCUTTING/RIPCUTTING
See Figure 17.
NOTE: Refer to Using the Laser Guides earlier inthis
manual.
When making a cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut
with the outer blade guide notch on the base as shown in
the figure.
Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut
in scrap material along a guideline to determine how
much, if any, you must offset the guideline to produce an
accurate cut.
NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is
the amount you should offset the guide.

Secure the workpiece.
Position the face of the edge guide firmly against the
edge of workpiece.
Guide the saw along the edge to achieve a straight rip
cut.
NOTE: The guiding edge of the workpiece must be
straight for your cut to be straight. Use caution to
prevent the blade from binding in the cut.
TO RiP CUT WITHOUT EDGE GUIDE
See Figure 18.
Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the
saw.
[] Secure the workpiece.
[] Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using
C-clamps.
NOTE: C-Clamp both ends of the straight edge before
making a cut.
[] Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip
cut.
NOTE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.
