INSTALLING THE RIP GUIDE (Fig. 5)
When cutting lumber lengthwise you are usually cutting along the wood’s grain rather then across the grain. Cutting
with the grain of wood is called “ripping,” also known as a rip cut. Since rip cuts tend to be lengthy, it can be difficult
to accurately follow the guideline the entire distance of the cut.
LINE-OF-CUT INDICATORS (Fig. 4)
A line-of-cut indicator notch can be found at the front of the saw base.
This notch helps provide indication of where the cut will be occurring.
The right edge of the notch is used to indicate the line when making a
0° cut. The left edge of the notch is used to indicate the line during a 45°
bevel cut.
NOTE:
Since blade thicknesses vary, it is necessary to make test cuts
along a guideline in scrap material to determine the proper alignment of
the guideline within the notch. This will help to obtain an accurate cut
with blades of various thicknesses.

To assist the operator in obtaining a straight rip cut, it is recom-
mended to use the included rip guide (Fig. 5 - 1). To install the
rip guide on your saw, perform the following steps:
1. Disconnect your saw from the power source.
2. The rip guide should be attached from the right side of the
saw. Insert the rip guide (Fig. 5 - 1) through all four slots on the
saw base (Fig. 5 - 2) until it extends out of the base.
3. Adjust the position of the rip guide for the desired width of cut.
4. Securely tighten the rip guide locking knob in the center slot to
hold the rip guide in position.

CONNECTING TO THE DUST COLLECTION (Fig. 6)
Saw dust generated during cutting operations can be hazardous
to your health. Use a dust extraction system to collect the dust
and chips.
1. Attach the included adapter (Fig. 6 - 1) onto the dust port at
the side of the motor housing The outer diameter of the dust port
adapter is 1-1/2 inches.
2. Connect your tool to a dust extractor.
