Using the rip fence

The rip fence allows you to make parallel cuts in a sheet
of wood, all at the same width.

WARNING.

Always ensure that the saw is switched off

and unplugged from the power supply before making any
adjustments.
1. Adjust the rip fence to the

required width and secure it
in position with the locking
handle.

2. Ensure that the fence rests

against the wood along its
entire length to give a
consistent parallel cut.

Cutting

NOTES.

1. Use only enough pressure to keep the saw cutting.

Do not force the cutting. Allow the blade and the saw
to do the work.

2. When cutting at an angle ensure that the rip fence is

located on the right hand side of the blade.

3. When cutting rod, use a jig or fixture to prevent the

workpiece from turning.

4. When cutting boards vertically, use a push stick to feed

the workpiece into the saw.
