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 pre-
vent build-up of the aluminum material on the blade.
WARNING:
• Never attempt to cut thick or round alumi-
num 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 per-
sonal 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.

CAUTION:
• Use straight wood of even thickness as the
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 sur-
face 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 the
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 . Cut grooves with blade
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.
