down and the blade guard release lever will engage
the upper blade guard, locking the blade above the
base (See Fig. Kg).
WARNING: Never use the saw with your
hands positioned as shown in Fig. L2.
7. MAKING CROSS CUTS AND RIP CUTS
(See Fig. M1, M2)
a) Always use your saw with your hands positioned
correctly (See Fig. M1, M2).
WARNING: Always maintain proper control
of the saw to make sawing safer and
easier. Loss of control of the saw could cause an
accident resulting in possible serious injury.
b) When making cross or rip cuts, align your line of cut
with the center of the “V” notch located on the front
of the saw’s base (See Fig. J).
c) Since the thickness of blades varies, make a trial
cut in scrap material along the guideline to determine
how much, if any, you should offset the blade from
the guideline to allow for the blade thickness to get an
accurate cut.
Making rip cuts (See Fig. M2)
Always use a guide when making long or wide rip cuts
with your saw. You can use either a straight edge (sold
separately), or use the parallel guide that is included
with your saw.
8. CUTTING WITH A STRAIGHT EDGE
(See Fig. M1)
You can make an efficient rip guide by clamping a
straight edge to your work piece.
a) Mark the position of the side edge of the saw’s
base (cutting platform) and then securely clamp
the straight edge (sold separately) on the mark and
parallel to the cut line.
b) As you cut, keep the edge of the saw’s base flush
