Since blade thicknesses vary, always make a trial cut
in scrap material along a guideline to determine how
much, if any, the guideline must be offset to produce
an accurate cut. NOTE: The distancefrom the line of
cut to the guideline is the amount you should offset
the guideline.

scale on the base in combination with the rip guide,
cuts can be made up to 6 in. to the left of the blade or
