Cutting aluminum extrusion 1 3 2 4 5 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 suggested wood facing. 2 3 3 7 6 1 45 54 1 ► 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. 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 thickness 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. ► 1 . Hole 2. Over 15 mm (9/16″) 3.

Miter angle 0° Left and Right 45° Left and Right 60° Thickness of wood facing 115 mm (4-1/2″) 120 mm (4-3/4″) 20 mm (13/16″) 38 mm (1-1/2″) 15 mm (9/16″) 25 mm (1″) 15 mm (9/16″) 25 mm (1″) 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 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. 27 ENGLISH
