Cutting aluminum extrusion 1 1 2 3 4 5 ► 1 . Vise 2. Spacer block 3. Guide fence 4. Aluminum 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 aluminum 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. Groove cutting ► 1 . Cut grooves with blade 3. Remove the workpiece material between the grooves with a chisel. Carrying tool Before carrying, make sure to unplug and all movable parts of the miter saw are secured. Always check the following: • The tool is unplugged. • The carriage is at 0° bevel angle position and secured. • The carriage is lowered and locked. • The carriage is fully slid to the guide fence and locked. • The turn base is at the full right miter angle posi- tion and secured. • The holders are stored and secured. Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base as shown in the figure. 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 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. 2. After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade, cut parallel grooves across the width of the workpiece using a slide (push) cut. WARNING: Stopper pin for carriage elevation is for carrying and storage purposes only and not for any cutting operations. The use of the stopper pin for cutting operations may cause unexpected movement of the saw blade resulting in kickback and serious personal injury. CAUTION: Always secure all moving portions before carrying the tool. If portions of the tool move or slide while being carried, loss of control or balance may occur and result in personal injury. 25 ENGLISH
