CUTTING LINE GUIDE
For a straight 90° cut, use left side of notch in
the foot. For 45° bevel cuts, use the right
side (Fig. 8). The cutting guide notch will give
an approximate line of cut. Make sample cuts
in scrap material to verify actual line of cut.
This will be helpful because of the number of
different blade types and thicknesses
available. To ensure minimum chipping or
splintering on the good side of the material to
be cut, face the good side down.
ATTACHING THE WATER SUPPLY
The
CAUTION
!
supplied with this saw is a
wet type. You must use water when cutting
with the supplied blade. If water is not
used, blade may overheat and cause
premature blade failure.
Connect the hose adapter from the water
supply line to a garden hose or a faucet with
the correct fitting and tighten securely. Turn
on the faucet that the supply line is
connected to. Do not turn the faucet on high.
Turn the water supply valve clockwise to the
ON position to start the flow of water. To turn
the water off, turn the valve counterclockwise
to the OFF position. You can adjust the flow
of water by turning the valve either clockwise
or counterclockwise between the ON and
OFF positions. When finished cutting, turn
the water off.
