Rip fence (Guide rule)

The handy rip fence allows you to do extra-accurate straight
cuts. Simply slide the rip fence up snugly against the side of
the workpiece and secure it in position with the screw on the
front of the base. It also makes repeated cuts of uniform
width possible.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:

Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.

°°°° cut (vertical cut)
