CUTTING LARGE SHEETS
Large sheets and long boards sag or bend,
depending on support. If you attempt to cut
without leveling and properly supporting the
piece, the blade will tend to bind, causing KICK-
BACK and extra load on the motor (Fig. 11).
Support the panel or board close to the cut, as
shown in (Fig. 12). Be sure to set the depth of
the cut so that you cut through the sheet or
board only and not the table or work bench. The
two-by-fours used to raise and support the work
should be positioned so that the broadest sides
support the work and rest on the table or bench.
Do not support the work with the narrow sides
as this is an unsteady arrangement. If the sheet
or board to be cut is too large for a table or work
bench, use the supporting two-by-fours on the
floor and secure.
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.
Rip cuts are easy to do with a rip fence
(Fig. 13). Rip Fence is available as an
accessory (not included). To attach fence, insert
fence through slots in foot to desired width as
shown and secure with the wing nut (not
included).
Ensure rip fence does not
!
WARNING
interfere with the free
movement of the lower guard and saw
blade. Rip fence contacting lower guard or saw
blade can cause property damage and serious
personal injury.
RIP BOARD GUIDE
When rip cutting large sheets, the rip fence
may not allow the desired width of cut. Clamp
or nail a straight piece of 1" (25 mm) lumber to
the sheet as a guide (Fig. 14). Use the right
side of the foot against the board guide.
Ensure the clamps do not
!
WARNING
interfere with the free
movement of the saw.
