Trim the Guide Strip
7
The tracks (A) are supplied with the guide strips
(B) already installed. The guide strips grip the
workpiece surface to ensure the track does not move
during use. When properly trimmed, the guide strips
allow you to align the edge of the strip with the cutline
and provide zero-clearance support next to the blade
to minimize chip-out.
To allow positioning the edge of the guide strip on
the workpiece cutline (zero offset), position and fully
support the track on a 48" [1219mm]-long scrap
workpiece with the edge stop on the bottom of the
starting block against the edge of the workpiece.
Position the saw/sled assembly on the starting block
using the indicator clip to ensure proper alignment
and engage the track rails. Adjust the depth of cut
so the blade will protrude ⅛" [3mm] through the
workpiece during the cut. With the blade clear of the
workpiece, turn on the saw. Applying light downward
pressure on the saw and maintaining a steady,
controlled pace, trim the guide strip and workpiece
along the entire length of the track. Turn off the saw
and allow the blade to stop before removing the saw/
sled assembly from the track.
Using your Accu-Cut

For the best results, install a 40-tooth blade on
your saw
2
Mark the cutline on your workpiece. Position
the track with the edge of the guide strip on
the cutline and the starting block edge stop against
the edge of the workpiece. Always make cuts with
the workpiece under the track and the waste to the
outside.

Place the saw/sled assembly on the starter
block, using the indicator clip to align the sled
with the track. Adjust the depth of cut so the blade will
protrude ⅛" [3mm] through the workpiece during the
cut.

Connect your saw to power. With both hands on
the saw and the blade clear of the workpiece,
turn on the saw. Applying light downward pressure on
the saw and maintaining a steady, controlled pace,
make the cut. Turn off the saw and allow the blade to
stop before removing the saw/sled assembly from the
track.

the Accu-Cut™, raise the wedge (O*) by pushing the handle
(P*) forward and down. Make sure the handle is in this
position whenever using the Accu-Cut™.
ATTENTION
Always wipe the guide strips with a
damp cloth and remove dust and debris from the workpiece
before positioning the track.
Should the zero-offset guide strip

become worn or damaged, remove the starting block from
the track and install it on the other end. Perform the trimming
operation on the second guide strip. When the guide strips
are no longer usable, contact Kreg Customer Service or
