1. Secure the workpiece.
2. Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using C-clamps (not included).
NOTE:
Position the C-clamps so that they will not interfere with the saw housing during the cut.
3. Press the lock-off button and depress the trigger switch to start the saw.
4. Allow the blade to reach full speed, then guide the saw into the workpiece and make the cut.
5. Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip cut.
6. Release the trigger switch and allow the blade to come to a complete stop.
7. Lift the saw from the workpiece.
Always use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with your saw. You can use either a straight edge or
an edge guide (sold separately).
NOTE:
The edge guide can be used on the left or right side of the blade (g 9).
WARNING!
Always remove the battery pack from the saw when assembling parts, changing blades and
making adjustments. Failure to obey this warning could cause serious personal injury.
1. Remove the battery pack from the saw.
2. Position the edge guide (sold separately) so that the arm with the ruler side is facing up. Slide the arm of
the edge guide through the mounting slots at the front of the saw base.
3. Adjust the edge guide to the desired width of cut.
4. Tighten the edge-guide locking knob.
5. When using an edge guide, position the face of the edge guide rmly against the edge of the workpiece.
This will help make a true cut without binding the blade. The edge of the workpiece must be straight for
the cut to be straight. Use caution to prevent the blade from binding in the cut.
