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. Cutting repetitive lengths

When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length,
ranging from 255 mm (10”) to 415 mm (16-5/16”), use of
the set plate (optional accessory) will facilitate more effi-
cient 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 (7.2 ft.)
approximately.

10. Groove cutting

A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as follows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using the stop-
per plate to limit the cutting depth of the blade. To adjust
it, slightly loosen the hex bolt securing the stopper plate
with the socket wrench. Push the carriage toward the
guide fence fully and lower the handle. When the blade
reaches the desired cutting depth, adjust the stopper
plate so that it contacts the blade case. Then tighten the
hex bolt firmly to secure the stopper plate. With the tool
unplugged, be sure that the blade will not lower beyond
the desired cutting depth when the handle is lowered
completely.
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.
