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.
WARNING:
Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum
•
extrusions. Thick or round aluminum extrusions
can be difficult to secure and may work loose
during the cutting operation which may result in
loss of control and serious personal injury.
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.

WARNING:
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 so that they will not
interfere with the positioning of the material
being cut. Misalignment of the material being cut
can case unexpected movement during
cutting operation which may result in a loss of
control and serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
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.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to perform this type of cut by
•
using a wider type blade or dado blade.
Attempting to make a groove cut with a wider
blade or dado blade could lead to unexpected
cutting results and kickback which may result in
serious personal injury
Be sure to return the stopper arm to the
•
original position when performing other than
groove cutting. Attempting to make cuts with the
stopper arm in the incorrect position could lead to
unexpected cutting results and kickback which
may result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original
•
position when performing other than groove
cutting.
