CROSS CUTTING/RIP CUTTING
See Figures 15 - 16.
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.
TO RIP CUT WITHOUT EDGE GUIDE
See Figure 16.
Use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts with the
saw.
NOTE: You may also use a rip guide to make rip cuts. Refer
to OPTIONAL RIP GUIDE later in this manual.
Secure the workpiece.
Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using
C-clamps.
Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip
cut.
NOTE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.
