STRAIGHT CUTTING
Once the rip fence is attached, measure from
the edge of work to the line of cut, and set
edge guide of rip fence to the same distance
and then securely tighten clamp screw (Fig.
14).
CIRCLE CUTTING
1. Before attaching the rip fence, draw a
circle and drive a finishing nail in the center of
circle.
2. Drill or plunge cut near the circles edge,
turn saw off and disconnect the plug from
power source (Fig. 16).
3. Attach rip fence to saw with the edge guide
facing UP. In order for the rip fence to cut a
circle, the nail must be in alignment with the
blade, as shown in (Fig. 15).
4. Measure the distance from the selected
hole to the blade to be equal to the circle
radius.
5. Insert plug into power source, hold the saw
firmly, squeeze trigger and slowly push the
saw forward. To make a hole, cut from inside
the circle; To make wheels or discs, cut from
the outside.
Cutting Tip: Cut slowly so the blade will stay
straight in the cut. Place small wedges in the
cut as shown in Fig. 16, to keep the inner
circle from spreading when near the end of
the cut.
NOTE: On orbital models we recommend
using the "0" position.
