Rip cuts
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. Rip cuts are easy to do with a rip
fence. Rip Fence is available as an accessory (not includ-
ed). To attach fence, insert fence through slots in foot to
desired width as shown and secure with the wing nut (not
included).

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"
lumber to the sheet as a guide. Use the right side of the foot
against the board guide.

Maintenance and cleaning

Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the machine and
the ventilation slots clean.
In extreme working conditions, conductive dust can accu-
mulate in the interior of the machine when working with met-
al. The protective insulation of the machine can be degrad-
ed. The use of a stationary extraction system is recommended
in such cases as well as frequently blowing out the ventilation
slots and installing a residual current device (RCD).
If the machine should fail despite the rigorous manufacturing
and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an
authorized aftersales service centre for Skill Power Tools.
Guarantee
We guarantee Skill appliances in accordance with statutory/
country-specific regulations (proof of purchase by invoice
or delivery note).
Damage attributable to normal wear and tear, overload or
improper handling will be excluded from the guarantee.
In case of complaint please send the machine, undisman-
tled, to your dealer or the Skill Service Centre for electric
power tools.
Warning!
Freight and insurance costs are charged to the client, even
for warranty claims.
