extrusion 5. Spacer block
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 alumi-
num extrusions can be difficult to secure and the work
may loosen during the cutting operation which may
result in loss of control and serious personal injury.
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 the cutting operation
which may result in a loss of control and serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Use straight wood of even thick-
ness for the wood facing.
CAUTION:
In order to completely cut through
workpieces with a height of 107 mm to 120 mm
(4-1/4" to 4-3/4"), a wood facing should be used
on the guide fence. The wood facing will space the
workpiece away from the fence allowing the blade to
complete a deeper cut.
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.

28 ENGLISH
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 and 6 mm (1/4")
screws.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a sug-
gested wood facing.

EXAMPLE When cutting workpieces 115 mm (4-1/2")
and 120 mm (4-3/4") high, use a wood facing with the
following thickness.
Miter angle
115 mm (4-1/2")
0° 20 mm (13/16")
Left and Right 45° 15 mm (9/16")
Left and Right 60° 15 mm (9/16")
Groove cutting
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.
WARNING:
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.
For a dado type cut, perform as follows:
1.
Adjust the lower limit position of the saw blade
using the adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit
the cutting depth of the saw blade. Refer to the section
for stopper arm.
