Kerf Indicator (Fig. J)
The front of the saw shoe has a kerf indicator

for vertical
and bevel cutting. This indicator enables you to guide the
saw along cutting lines penciled on the material being cut.
The kerf indicator lines up with the left (inner) side of the
saw blade, which makes the slot or “kerf” cut by the moving
blade fall to the right of the indicator. Guide along the
penciled cutting line so that the kerf falls into the waste or
surplusmaterial.
