Operation; Guide Rail; Groove Cutting - Makita CA5000 Instruction Manual

The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate
straight cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly
against the side of the workpiece and secure it in
position with the screws on the front and the back of
the base. It also makes repeated cuts of uniform width
possible.
Overturning the rip fence (guide rule) also works as a
sub base for the tool.
