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.
CAUTION:
• Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum
extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may
come loose during operation and round alumi-
num extrusions cannot be secured firmly with
this tool.
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 sug-
gested wood facing.

CAUTION:
• Use straight wood of even thickness as the

• 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.
• When the wood facing is attached, do not turn
the turn base with the handle lowered. The
