Abstract

A guide plate for a hand power saw has a top side with a low coefficient of friction for functioning with a guide member on the power saw, whereas the other or lower side of the plate has a slip-proof facing material for resting on a workpiece to be cut with the saw. Furthermore near one of its long edges the guide plate has a guide ridge with guide faces thereon running in the direction of sawing. A main part of the guide plate is placed on the one side of this ridge while the part on the other side of it is in the form of a ledge that is in a single plane with the lower face of the guide plate on the other side of the ridge. The lower side of the guide ridge is in this plane or is higher up than this plane. On the side of the main part of the guide plate furthest from the ridge there is a guide lip running in the direction of sawing that rests on the workpiece to be cut. This guide lip is made of non-splitting, elastic material running out from the side of the guide plate edge furthest from the guide ridge and the outermost edge of the lip is designed to be used as a cut marker.
