LINE GUIDE
For a straight 90° cut, use left side of notch in
the foot. For 45°-56° bevel cuts, use the right
side (Fig. 7). The cutting guide notch will give
an approximate line of cut. Make sample cuts
in scrap lumber to verify actual line of cut. This
will be helpful because of the number of
different blade types and thicknesses available.
To ensure minimum splintering on the good
side of the material to be cut, face the good
side down.

When cutting is interrupted, to resume cutting:
squeeze the trigger and allow the blade to
reach full speed, re-enter the cut slowly and
resume cutting.
When cutting across the grain, the fibers of
the wood have a tendency to tear and lift.
Advancing the saw slowly minimizes this
effect. For a finished cut, a cross cut blade or
miter blade is recommended.
