CUTTING WITH A STRAIGHT EDGE

z_WARNING: ALWAYS clamp and support workpiece securely, i

ALWAYS maintain proper control of saw. Failure to clamp and support

workpiece and loss of control of saw could result in serious injury.

You can make an efficient rip guide by clamping a straight edge to your

workpiece.

1. 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.

2. As you cut, keep the edge

of the saw's base flush

against the straight edge and flat on the workpiece.

3. ALWAYS LET THE BLADE REACH FULL SPEED, then carefully guide

the saw into the workpiece. DO NOT bind the blade in the cut. Push the

saw forward at a speed where the blade is not laboring.

INSTALLING AND USING THE EDGE GUIDE

/kWARNING: ALWAYS unplug saw before making any adjustments.

Failure to unplug the saw could result in accidental starting which can

cause serious personal injury.

Your saw comes with an edge guide that is 7-inches long on the guide edge.

It allows you to make accurate parallel cuts when trimming a workpiece. It

attaches to the saw's base. The arm of the edge guide is stamped, on both

sides, 0 to 7 inches in 1/4-inch increments and 1 to 18 centimeters in 10-mm

increments for easy adjustment of your cut.

The edge guide can be used with the guide edge turned down to guide along

the edge of a workpiece for rip or cross cuts, or turned up to guide against a

wall for inside cuts.

1. Unplug the saw.

2. Position the edge guide so

the arm can slide into the

mounting slots at the front

of the saw's base, and

loosen the retaining screw.

3. Align the dimensions of

your edge guide ruler to

the cut line indicator.

4. Tighten the edge guide retaining screw.
