Rip Cuts
be sure the rip fence does not touch or
interfere with the free movement of the
lower guard or contact the saw blade.
The combination blade provided with your
saw is for both cross cuts and rip cuts.
Ripping is cutting lengthwise with the grain
of the wood. Narrow rip cuts are easy to do
with a rip fence (Fig. 13). To attach
optional rip fence 11, insert fence through
slots in foot to desired width as shown and
secure with the knob 6.
Rip Board Guide
When rip cutting large sheets, the rip fence
may not allow the desired width of cut.
Clamp or nail a straight piece of 1" (25
mm) lumber to the sheet as a guide
(Fig. 14). Use the left side of the foot
against the board guide.
The GKS18V-25GC's auxiliary handle is
designed to allow lumber as thick as 2x
("2-by") to be used as a guide.
