CUTTING/RIP
CUTTING
See Figure 19.
NOTE: Refer to "Using the Laser Guide" on page 19 for
the following aplications
When making a cross cut or rip cut, align the line of cut
with the outer blade guide notch on the base as shown in
the figure.
Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut
in scrap material along a guideline to determine how
much, if any, you must offset the guideline to produce an
accurate cut.
NOTE: The distance from the line of cut to the guideline is
the amount you should offset the guide.
