9. Cutting repetitive lengths
3
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same
length, ranging from 220 mm (8-5/8") to 385 mm
(15-1/8"), 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
(7.2ft) approximately.
10. Groove cutting
1
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as fol-
lows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the
adjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the cut-
ting depth of the blade. Refer to "Stopper arm" sec-
tion described on previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,
cut parallel grooves across the width of the work-
piece using a slide (push) cut as shown in the fig-
ure. Then remove the workpiece material between
the grooves with a chisel. Do not attempt to perform
this type of cut using wide (thick) blades or with a
dado blade. Possible loss of control and injury may
result.

1. Cut grooves
with blade
CAUTION:
• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original
position when performing other than groove cutting.
Carrying tool
1
Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade at
0° bevel angle and the turn base at right miter angle fully.
Secure the slide poles after pulling the carriage toward
the guide fence fully. Lower the handle fully and lock it in
the lowered position by pushing in the stopper pin.
Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base as
shown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust bag,
etc., you can carry the tool more easily.
CAUTION:
• Always secure all moving portions before carrying
the tool.
• Stopper pin is for carrying and storage purposes
only and not for any cutting operations.
