Cutting aluminum extrusion
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 extru-
sions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come loose
during operation and round aluminum extrusions
cannot be secured firmly with this tool.
8.
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.
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 fac-
ing.
•
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.
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.
NOTE:
•
Use of the holder-rod assembly (optional accessory)
allows cutting repetitive lengths up to 2,200 mm
(7.2ft) approximately.
10. Groove cutting
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.
