7. 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
suggested wood facing.

CAUTION:
Use the straight wood of even thickness as the
•
wood facing.
WARNING:
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 so that they will not interfere with the
positioning of the material being cut. Misalignment
of the material being cut can case unexpected
movement during the cutting operation which may
result in a loss of control and serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
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.
8. Cutting repetitive lengths

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.

Use of the

2,200 mm (7.2 ft) approximately.
9. Groove cutting

001563
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 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.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to perform this type of cut by using
•
a wider type blade or dado blade. Attempting to
make a groove cut with a wider blade or dado blade
could lead to unexpected cutting results and kickback
which may result in serious personal injury
Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original
•
position when performing other than groove
cutting. Attempting to make cuts with the stopper
arm in the incorrect position could lead to
unexpected cutting results and kickback which
may result in serious personal injury.
