7. Cutting aluminum extrusion
001844
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.

CAUTION:
Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood

facing.
Use screws to attach the wood facing to the guide
•
fence. The screws should be installed so that the
screw heads are below the surface of the 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. Cutting repetitive lengths

001846
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same
length, ranging from 220 mm (8-5/8") to 385 mm
(15-1/8"), use of the set plate (optional accessory)
will facilitate more efficient operation. Install the set
plate on the holder (optional accessory) as shown
in the figure.
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either
the left or right side of the groove in the kerf board,
and while holding the workpiece from moving,
move the set plate flush against the end of the
workpiece. Then secure the set plate with the screw.
When the set plate is not used, loosen the screw
and turn the set plate out of the way.
NOTE:
Use of the
•
accessory) allows cutting repetitive lengths up to
2,200 mm (7.2ft) approximately.
10. 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 on 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.
