Kreg Rip-Cut - Manual (Page 3)

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
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 flat on the floor.
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.

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.

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.
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.
