MAKING
CROSS
CUTS OR RIP CUTS
1. When making
cross or rip cuts, align
your line of cut with the outer blade
guide notch on the base of the saw
(See Fig. 12).
2. Since blade thicknesses
vary, ALWAYS
make a trial cut in scrap material
along
the guideline
to determine
how much,
if any the guideline
must be offset to
get an accurate
cut.
MAKING
BEVEL
CUTS
1. Your saw can be adjusted
to cut at any
angle between
0° and 45 °. When
making
45 ° bevel cuts, there is a notch
in the saw base to help you line up the
blade with the line of cut (See Fig. 13).
2. Align your line of cut with the inner
blade guide notch on the base of the
saw when making
45 ° bevel cuts.
3. Since blade thicknesse
can vary and
different
angles
require different
settings,
ALWAYS
make
a trial cut in scrap
materials
along a guideline
to determine
how much you should
offset the guideline
on the board to be cut.
4. When making
a bevel cut ALWAYS
hold
your saw firmly with both hands
(See Fig. 14).
5. Rest the front edge of the base on the
workpiece.
Then squeeze
the trigger
switch to start the saw. ALWAYS
let the
blade reach full speed, then guide the
saw into the workpiece.
