9. INSTALLING AND USING THE PARALLEL
GUIDE (Fig. N1,N2,N3)
Your saw comes with a parallel guide that is 7-inches
long on the guide edge. It allows you to make
accurate parallel cuts when trimming a work piece.
It attaches to the saw's base. The arm of the parallel
guide is stamped, on both sides, 0 to 7 inches in 1/4-
inch increments and 1 to 18 centimeters in 10-mm
increments for easy adjustment of your cut. The parallel
guide can be used with the guide edge turned down to
guide along the edge of a work piece for rip or cross
cuts (See Fig. N2), or turned up to guide against a wall
for inside cuts (See Fig. N3).
a) Position the parallel guide so the arm can slide into
the mounting slots at the front of the saw's base
(See Fig. N1), and loosen the retaining screw.
b) Adjust the parallel guide to the desired length of cut.
c) Tighten the parallel guide locking screw(20).
d) Clamp and support the work piece securely before
making your cut.
e) Place the parallel guide firmly against the edge of
the work piece (See Fig. N2), or against a wall (See
Fig. N3). Doing this will help give you a true cut
without pinching the blade.
f) Be sure that the guiding edge of the work piece, or
the wall, is straight so you can produce a straight cut
(See Fig. N2,N3).
g) Always let the blade reach full speed, then
carefully guide the saw into the work piece. Do not
bind the blade in the cut. Push the saw forward at a
speed where the blade is not laboring.
