Using The Edge Guide; Bevel Cutting - Craftsman 320.28102 Operator's Manual

USING THE EDGE GUIDE (Fig_ 20-21)
Always use a guide when making long or wide
rip cuts with your saw. You can use either a
straight edge or use the edge guide that was
included with the saw°
_kWARNDNG: Always remove the battery
pack from the tool when assembling parts,
changing blade and making adjustments.
Failure to obey this warning could cause
serious personal injury.
[] Remove the battery pack from the saw.
[] Position the edge guide so the arm with the
ruler side is facing up. Slide the arm of the
edge guide through the mounting slots at
the front of the saw base..
Adjust the edge guide to the desired width
of cut,.
[] Tighten the edge guide lock knob_
_.WARNIING: ALWAYS clamp and
support workpiece securely. ALWAYS
maintain proper control of saw. Failure
to clamp and support workpiece and
loss of control of saw could result in
serious injury.
When using the edge guide, position the face
of the edge guide firmly against the edge of
the workpiece. This will help make a true cut
without binding the blade The edge of the
workpiece must be straight for the cut to be
straighL Use caution to prevent the blade from
binding in the cut,
NOTE: Do not bind the blade in the cut. It
could cause the saw to "ldckback" towards
you, which could result in serious injury.

_WARNII_IG: if the blade comes in contact with the workpiece before it reaches full speed,
it could cause the saw to "kickback" towards you, which could result in serious injury.
NOTE: The edge guide can be used on the left or right side of the blade. (Fig. 20)
BEVEL CUTTING (Fig_ 22-23)
The angle of cut can be adjusted to any desired setting between 0 ° and 50°_
NOTE: When making 50 ° bevel cuts, the blade should be set at full depth of cut.
Since blade thicknesses vary and different angles require different settings, always make a trial
cut in scrap material along a guideline to determine how much you should offset the guideline on
the workpiece to be cut.
