Safety Guidelines
• Before using the Rip-Cut™, read, understand, and follow the
safety warnings and operation instructions included with this
product and provided by your saw manufacturer. Keep all
guards and safety devices in place.
• Wear proper eye, ear, and respiratory protection when operating
your saw.
• Use a sharp blade designed for the type of material you
are cutting.
• Always disconnect your saw from power before making
adjustments to the saw or Rip-Cut™.
• Check the cursor alignment before you cut.
• Ensure that the saw blade will not contact the edge guide
during the cut.
• Do not attempt a cut when any part of the Rip-Cut™ interferes
with the operation of the saw blade guard.
Parts:

Edge Guide
• Make sure both the workpiece and the cutoff piece are
fully supported.
• Adjust the saw so the blade protrudes ⅛" [3mm] through the
workpiece during the cut.
• Keep your hands away from the saw blade during operation.
• Do not use excessive force when cutting. Maintain a steady
and controlled pace.
• Maintain your tools and accessories. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, loose fasteners, broken parts, and
any other condition that may affect safe operation. If an unsafe
condition is discovered, correct it before use.

remove the two self-tapping screws (B), and use them to secure
the edge guide to the rail (C). Orient the edge guide for right-hand
or left-hand operation as shown.
Step 2: Mount your Circular Saw on the Sled
Loosen the set screws (D) in the base-plate clamps (E) so
your saw base plate can slide under them. With your saw

disconnected from power, position it on the sled (F) with the
front of the saw base plate against the step at the front of
the sled. For saws with the blade on the left-hand end of the
motor, center the blade in the left sled slot. For saws with the
blade on the right-hand end of the motor, center the blade
in the right sled slot. To accommodate different saw base-
plate congurations, there are two holes for attaching each
base-plate clamp to the sled. For the most secure clamping,
choose the holes that provide widest spacing allowed by your
saw. The clamps can be oriented at an angle. To relocate a
clamp, loosen the machine screw (G) to free the hex nut (H)
in the recess in the bottom of the sled. Relocate the clamp,
position the hex nut in the corresponding recess, and tighten
the machine screw. Tighten the set screws onto the saw base
plate. Make sure the set screws are tight enough to securely
hold your saw, but do not over tighten. Make sure the saw
blade guard operates freely.

Step 3: Check the Position of the Cursor
There are two positions for the cursor (I) that correspond to
the two sled slots. If the cursor is not in the same position as
the saw blade, press down on the cursor lock, slide the cursor
out of the holder and reinstall it in the other holder.

Step 4: Slide the Sled onto the Rail
With your saw clamped to the sled (F), raise the handle (J) to the

upright position and slide the sled onto the rail (C), inserting the
wedge (K) into the rail channel. The sled “forks” and the edge guide
(A) should extend from the same edge of the rail.
Step 5: Align the Pointer and Determine the Narrowest Cut

Rotate the saw blade guard up and slide the sled (F) along
the rail (C) until the blade just touches the edge guide (A).
Lock the sled in place by pressing down on the handle (J).
The handle does not need to be completely horizontal to lock
securely. Press down on the cursor lock and align the cursor
(I) with the zero mark on the rail scale.
Using your Rip Cut
WARNING
!
On the scale, the area between zero and 1" [25mm] is marked
Not Recommended, See Manual. On most saws, the edge
guide interferes with blade-guard operation on cuts of less
than 1" [25mm], so these cuts should not be attempted.
After aligning the cursor, verify the minimum safe cut width

by moving the sled away from the edge guide until the blade

guard functions without interference.
1) With the saw mounted on the sled, adjust the depth of cut so
the blade will protrude ⅛" [3mm] through the workpiece
during the cut.
2) Release the wedge lock and slide the sled along the rail
until the cursor aligns with the desired dimension on the
scale. Engage the wedge lock.
3) Completely support the workpiece and cutoff with 2x4s or
2" [50mm]-thick rigid foam insulation laid at on the oor.
4) Connect your saw to power. With one hand on the edge
guide and the other holding the saw, press the edge guide
against the edge of your workpiece and make your cut,
moving the edge guide and saw forward at the same speed
throughout the entire cut. When making narrow cuts, make
sure the hand holding the edge guide does not contact
the blade.
