Instruction sheet※ Read the sheet prior to use, and keep it for future reference.
You may think sawing straight is very difficult
and that only professionals can do it. But,
using the Saw Guide, you can make precise
cuts just like professional carpenters do. It’s
ideal for users who always need to cut precise
90°straight cuts, both right and left 45°angle
cuts or inclined 45°angle cuts. From picture
frames to practical and useful household andgarden furniture of your own, the Guide willdefinitely be an indispensable tool for yourD.I.Y. activities.

All these furniture were actually made by using Z-SAW UNIVERSAL S-265 & Saw Guide.

THIS SAW IS SPECIALLY DESIGNED AND PRODUCED TO BE USED WITHSAW GUIDE-FREE ANGLE AND SAW GUIDE .

CUTS ONTHE PULLSTROKE

Saw Guidepart # ①､ ②､ ③､ and ⑨ are adjusted at the factory for 90°cutting.

Cutting on the pull-stroke prevents theblade from buckling, binding, and allows
the blade to be thin. The thinner blade
removes less material, makes sawingeasier, faster and more accurate!
