KERF INDICATOR
The front
of
the saw shoe has a kerf indicator
(Figure 8)
for verti-
cal and bevel cutting.
This indicator enables you
to
guide the
saw
along
cutting lines penciled on the material
being cut.
The indica-
tor lines up with the left (inner) side of the saw blade,
which
makes the slot
or
"kef'
cut
by
the
moving blade
fall
to
the
right
of
the indicator. Guide along the
penciled cutting line so that the
kerf
falls
into the waste
or
surplus material
-
See Figure
9.

of
the shoe. Note that the left side is 5 1/2"

the lefi side of the
blade and
the left edge of the
shoe
(standard 6x

is
1
112"
(standard 2x
