Cutting aluminum extrusion
► 1. Vise 2. Spacer block 3. Guide fence 4. Aluminum
extrusion 5. Spacer block
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
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.

► 1. Holes
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.

Cutting repetitive lengths
CAUTION:
For the tool equipped with the hold-
ers and the holder assemblies as standard acces-
sories, this type of use is not permitted due to the
country regulations.
► 1. Set plate 2. Holder 3. Screw
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 facil-
itate 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 acces-
sory) allows cutting repetitive lengths up to
2,200 mm (7.2 ft) approximately.
Groove cutting
► 1. Cut grooves with blade
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 on previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade, cut par-
allel 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
