3. Cutting aluminum extrusion
002861
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 aluminum extrusions cannot be
secured firmly with this tool.
4. Wood facing
002160
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 wood facing.
• 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 blade and/or the
wood facing will be damaged.
NOTE:
• When the wood facing is attached, the maximum cutting
capacities in width will be reduced by thickness of the
wood facing.
