ALTERNATIVE
RIP METHOD
See Figure20.
Using C-damps, firmly clamp a straight edge to the
workpiece and guide the saw along the straight edge to
achieve a straight rip cut. Do not bind the blade in the out.
ALTERNATIVEMETHQO FOR RIP CUTTING
WORKPIECE
Align your line of cut with the inner blade guide notch on
the saw base when making 45° bevel cuts.
Since blade thicknesses van/and different angles
require different settings, always make a trial cut in
scrap material along a guideline to determine how
much you should offsel the guldallne on the board to
be cut.
When makinga bevel cut hold your saw firmly with both
hands as shown in figure 22.

TO BEVEL CUT
The angle of cut of your saw may be adjusted to any
desired settingbetween zero and 50°. Note: When
makingcuts at 50°, blade shouldbe set at full depth of

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.

Rest the front edge of the base on the workpieca. Depress
the lock-off button and squeeze the switch trigger to statt
your saw. Always let the blade reach full speed, then
guide your sawinto the workpieco.
WARNING:
The blade coming in contactwith
the workpiece before it reaches full speed could
cause saw to "kickback"toward you resultingin
serious injury.
After you complete your cut release the trigger and allow
the blade to come to a complete stop. After the blade has
stopped, lift your saw from the workpieco.
