7. Cutting aluminum extrusion
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks
or pieces of scrap as shown in Fig. 51 to prevent defor-
mation 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 extru-
sions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come loose dur-
ing operation and round aluminum extrusions cannot
be secured firmly with this tool.
8. Wood facing (Fig. 52)
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 screws.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a sug-
gested wood facing.
CAUTION:
• Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood fac-
ing.
• When cutting workpieces from 102 mm to 120 mm
high, use a wood facing to prevent a portion of the
workpiece near the guide fence from being left uncut.
Example:
When cutting workpieces 115 mm and 120 mm high, use
a wood facing with the following thickness.
Miter angle
0°
Left and Right 45°
Left and Right 52°
Right 60°
CAUTION:
• 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.

9. Groove cutting (Fig. 53)
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as follows:
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 previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade, cut
parallel grooves across the width of the workpiece using
a slide (push) cut as shown in the figure. 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.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original posi-
tion when performing other than groove cutting.
Carrying tool
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 so that the lower slide pole is
locked in the position of the carriage fully pulled to opera-
tor and the upper poles are locked in the position of the
carriage fully pushed forward to the guide fence (refer to
the section titled "Slide lock adjustment".) Lower the han-
dle fully and lock it in the lowered position by pushing in
the stopper pin. (Fig. 54)
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. (Fig. 55)
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.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.
WARNING:
• Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean for the
best and safest performance.
Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
