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. 8. Cutting repetitive lengths When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length, ranging from 240 mm (9 - 29/64") to 400 mm (15 - 3/4"), 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 holder-rod assembly (optional accessory) allows cutting repetitive lengths up to 2,200 mm (7.2 ft.) approximately. 22

Cutting repetitive lengths
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length,
ranging from 240 mm (9 - 29/64
) to 400 mm (15 - 3/4
),
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 holder-rod assembly (optional accessory)
allows cutting repetitive lengths up to 2,200 mm (7.2 ft.)
approximately.
