Hints for Optimum Use
Sawing laminates
As the saw blade cuts on the upward stroke, splintering may
occur on the surface closest to the shoe plate.
Use a fine-tooth saw blade.
Saw from the back surface of the workpiece.
To minimize splintering, clamp a piece of scrap wood or
hardboard to both sides of the workpiece and saw through this
sandwich.
Sawing metal
• Be aware that sawing metal takes much more time than
sawing wood.
• Use a saw blade suitable for sawing metal.
• When cutting thin metal, clamp a piece of scrap wood to the
back surface of the workpiece and cut through this sandwich.
• Spread a film of oil along the intended line of cut for easier
operation and longer blade life. For cutting aluminum,
kerosene is preferred.
Rip/Circle Cutting (Fig. G, H)
Ripping and circle cutting without a pencil line is easily done with
the rip fence / circle guide (not included; available at extra cost).
Using the screw supplied with the accessory guide, position and
thread the screw into the shoe to clamp the fence securely.
When ripping, slide the rip fence under the screw from either
side of the saw. Set the cross bar at desired distance from blade
and tighten screw. For ripping, the cross bar should be down and
against the straight edge of the workpiece.
When circle cutting, adjust rip fence so that distance from blade to
hole in fence arm is at the desired radius and tighten screw. Place
saw so that hole in fence arm is over center of circle to be cut (drill
hole for blade or cut inward from edge of material to get blade
into position). When saw is properly positioned, drive a small nail
through hole in fence arm. Using rip fence as a pivot arm, begin
cutting circle. For circle cutting, the cross bar should be up.
