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
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 the straight wood of even
thickness as the 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 suggested wood facing.

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.
NOTE: The maximum cutting width will be smaller by
the width of wood facing.
Cutting repetitive lengths
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same
length, ranging from 240 mm to 380 mm, use the set
plate (optional accessory). 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, 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 approximately.
