When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer
blocks or pieces of scrap as shown in the figure to
prevent deformation of the aluminum. Use a cutting
lubricant when cutting the aluminum extrusion to
prevent build-up of the aluminum material on the
blade.
CAUTION:
Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum
•
extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come
loose during operation and round aluminum
extrusions cannot be secured firmly with this tool.
8. Wood facing
Use of wood facing helps to assure splinter-free
cuts in workpieces. Attach a wood facing to the
guide fence using the holes in the guide fence.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a
suggested wood facing.

When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the

turn base with the handle lowered. The blade
and/or the wood facing will be damaged.
9. Groove cutting
1
001563
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as
follows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the
adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the
cutting depth of the blade. Refer to "Stopper arm"
section described previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,
cut parallel grooves across the width of the
workpiece using a slide (push) cut as shown in the
figure. Then remove the workpiece material
between the grooves with a chisel. Do not attempt
to perform this type of cut using wide (thick) blades
or with a dado blade. Possible loss of control and
injury may result.
CAUTION:
Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original
•
position when performing other than groove cutting.
Carrying tool

Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade at
0° bevel angle and the turn base at right miter angle fully.
Secure the slide poles after pulling the carriage toward
you fully. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin.
Wind the power supply cord using the cord rests.
Carry the tool by holding the tool base as shown in the
figure. If you remove the holders, dust bag, etc., you can
carry the tool more easily.
