first cut with a new guide rail carefully so the splinter guard is trimmed precisely to the saw blade's cutting edge.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eUse the clip-on splinter guard together with the guide rail when both sides of the workpiece require a clean finish.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eSelect a saw blade matched to the material rather than relying on one blade for every application.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n    \u003cli\u003eSet the cutting depth only slightly deeper than the workpiece to reduce exposed blade area and improve extraction.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n
