Rip Cuts (Fig . 12)
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 the included rip
fence.
To attach the rip fence, insert the fence through
the slots in the foot to the desired width as
shown, and secure it with the rip-fence locking
screw using the blade wrench.
WARNING
the free movement of the lower guard and
saw blade. A rip fence contacting the lower
guard or saw blade can cause property damage
and serious personal injury.
Rip Board Guide (Fig . 13)
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. Use the right
side of the foot against the board guide.
WARNING
free movement of the saw.
