Maintenance; Repairs - GMC BS7 Instruction Manual

Using the rip fence
The rip fence allows you to make parallel cuts in a sheet
of wood, all at the same width.
WARNING. Always ensure that the saw is switched off
and unplugged from the power supply before making any
adjustments.
1. Adjust the rip fence to the
required width and secure it
in position with the locking
handle.
2. Ensure that the fence rests
against the wood along its
entire length to give a
consistent parallel cut.
Cutting
NOTES.
1. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting.
Do not force the cutting. Allow the blade and the saw
to do the work.
2. When cutting at an angle ensure that the rip fence is
located on the right hand side of the blade.
3. When cutting rod, use a jig or fixture to prevent the
workpiece from turning.
4. When cutting boards vertically, use a push stick to feed
the workpiece into the saw.
