TO CROSS CUT OR RIP CUT
When making a cross cut or rip cut, align your line of cut
with the outer blade guide notch on the saw base as
shown in figure 17.
Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut in
scrap material along a guideline to determine how much, if
any, the guideline must be offset to produce an accurate cut.
NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is the
amount you should offset the guideline.
WIDTH OF CUT SCALE
See Figure 18.
A width of cut scale has been provided on the base of your
saw. When making straight cross cuts or rip cuts, the scale
can be used to measure up to four inches to the right side of
the blade. It can be used to measure up to one inch to the left
side of the blade.
