RIP CUTTING WITHOUT AN EDGE GUIDE
 Secure the workpiece.
 Install dust nozzle and vacuum hose (not included) if
desired.
 Clamp a straight edge to the workpiece using C-clamps.
 Place the front of the base flat on the workpiece.
NOTE: Position the saw so that the cutting blade is not
directly over the material being cut.
 Carefully lower the cutting blade. If it contacts the
workpiece, adjust the position of the saw.
 Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
 Saw along the straight edge to achieve a straight rip cut.
NOTE: Do not bind the blade in the cut.
RIP CUTTING WITH AN EDGE GUIDE
 Secure the workpiece.
 Install dust nozzle and vacuum hose (not included) if
desired.
 Install the edge guide.
 Place the front of the base flat on the workpiece.
NOTE: Position the saw so that the cutting blade is not
directly over the material being cut.
 Position the face of the edge guide firmly against the edge
of workpiece.
 Carefully lower the cutting blade. If it contacts the
workpiece, adjust the position of the saw.
 Start the saw and let the blade reach full speed.
 Guide the saw along the edge to achieve a straight rip
cut.
NOTE: The guiding edge of the workpiece must be
straight for the cut to be straight. Use caution to prevent
the blade from binding in the cut.
CUTTING TILE
See Figure 24, page 16.
NOTE: Remove the edge guide when cutting tile.
Always draw the line to be cut on the tile using a marker or
grease pencil. If the tile is shiny and hard-to-mark, place
masking tape on the tile and mark the tape.
OPERATION
A common problem when cutting tile is straying from the
marked line. Once you've strayed from the mark, you can not
force the wheel back to the line by twisting the tile. Instead,
back up and recut the tile slicing off a small amount of tile
until the wheel is back on track.
Use slow steady pressure when cutting tile. Do not force
the saw. Use of excessive pressure may damage the motor.
NOTE: Cutting tile for extended periods of time or cutting
tile longer than 12 in. could cause the saw to become over-
heated. If this occurs, cool the saw by retracting the wheel/
blade into the guard, lifting the saw away from the workpiece,
and running the saw at full speed for two minutes.
CUTTING METALS/PLASTICS
See Figure 25, page 16.
WARNING:
If you are changing a blade immediately after cutting met-
als, be careful not to touch the blade, washer or blade
screw with your hands or fingers. You will get burned
because of the heat buildup from cutting metals. Always
use the wrench provided.
NOTICE:
Remove the dust nozzle when cutting metal. Sparks may
ignite dust causing property damage.
NOTE: Remove the edge guide when cutting metal.
With a metal cutting blade installed, you may cut materials
such as thin sheet steel, PVC pipe, aluminum, brass, and
copper.
Use caution when cutting metals and observe the following
to avoid potential hazards:
WARNING:
Material will get hot during cutting. Keep hands off of
metal being cut to avoid serious personal injury.
 Do not touch the cut material until it cools or you can be
burned.
