CIRCLE CUTTING
1. Before attaching the rip fence, draw a circle
a
nd drive a finishing nail in the center of circle.
2. Drill or plunge cut near the circles edge,
turn saw off and disconnect the plug from
power source (Fig. 13).
3. Attach rip fence to saw with the edge guide
facing UP. In order for the rip fence to cut a
circle, the nail must be in alignment with the
blade, as shown in (Fig. 14).
4. Measure the distance from the selected
hole to the blade to be equal to the circle
radius.
5. Insert plug into power source, hold the saw
firmly, squeeze trigger and slowly push the
saw forward. To make a hole, cut from inside
the circle; To make wheels or discs, cut from
the outside.
Cutting Tip: Cut slowly so the blade will stay
straight in the cut. Place small wedges in the
cut as shown in Fig. 13, to keep the inner
circle from spreading when near the end of the
cut.
