MAKING RIP CUTS
The combination blade provided with your
saw is for both cross cuts and rip cuts.
Ripping is cutting lengthwise with the grain
of the wood (FIG. 12).
FIG. 12
Desired width
of cut
When rip cutting large sheet, use a straight
edge (FIG. 13).
FIG. 13
Desired line
of cut
1. Secure the workpiece.
2. Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece
using C-clamps.
3. Rest the front edge of the base on the
workpiece. Depress the lock-off button
and squeeze the trigger switch to start
the saw. Allow the saw to reach full speed
before allowing the saw blade to contact
the workpiece.
4. Carefully guide the saw along the straight
edge to achieve a straight rip cut.
WARNING:
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.
BEVEL CUTTING
The angle of cut can be adjusted to any
desired setting between 0°and 50°.
NOTICE: 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.
TO ADJUST BEVEL
SETTING (FIG. 14)
1. Remove the battery pack from the saw.
2. Loosen the bevel adjustment knob by
rotating the knob counterclockwise.
3. Tilt the base until the bevel indicator
reaches the desired setting on the bevel
scale (0°-50°).
4. Tighten the bevel adjustment knob by
rotating the knob clockwise.
