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 aluminum
extrusions cannot be secured firmly with this tool.
6. 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 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.
•
The maximum cutting width will be smaller by the
width of wood facing.

When cutting several pieces of stock to the same
length, ranging from 240 mm to 380 mm, 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.

Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade at
0° bevel angle and the turn base at left miter angle fully.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
by pushing in the stopper pin.
Carry the tool by carrying grip as shown in the figure. If
you remove the holders, dust bag, etc., you can carry the
tool more easily.
