(2) Adjust to the desired cutting depth by setting the distance between the saw blade and
the surface of the turntable (see ⓑ in Fig. 46).
NOTE:
When cutting a single groove at either end of the workpiece, remove the
unneeded portion with a chisel.
14. Cutting easily-deformed materials, such as aluminum sash
Materials such as aluminum sash can easily deform when tightened too much in a vise
assembly. This will cause ineffi cient cutting and possible overload of the motor.
When cutting such materials, use a wood plate to protect the workpiece as shown in
Fig. 48-a. Set the wood plate near the cutting section.
When cutting aluminum materials, coat the saw blade with cutting oil (non-combustible) to
achieve smooth cutting and a fi ne fi nish.
In addition, in case of a U-shaped workpiece, use the wood plate as shown in Fig. 48-b to ensure
stability in the lateral direction, and clamp it near the cutting section of the workpiece and
tighten it using both the vise assembly and the clamp available in the market.

Empty the dust bag frequently to prevent the duct and the lower

Sawdust will accumulate more quickly than normal during bevel
cutting.

(1) When the dust bag has become full of
sawdust, dust will be blown out of the dust
bag when the saw blade rotates.
Check the dust bag periodically and empty it
before it becomes full.
(2) During bevel and compound cutting, attach
the dust bag at a right angle to the base
surface as shown in Fig. 49.
