When a cut follows your layout, use a cutting guide rail to keep the saw on line.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

It functions as part of a measurement and marking system where accurate layout leads directly to precise cuts, with the built-in level allowing for immediate surface checking without switching tools.

   • Hold flat against the surface to check horizontal alignment.
6. Final Check:
   • Retighten the blade lock before storing to maintain the integrity of the settings.
