the guide fence on the saw.
The finished piece to be used will
•
always be on the RIGHT side of the
blade after the cut has been made.
Crown molding stoppers (optional accessories)
allow easier cuts of crown molding without tilting
the saw blade. Install them on the base as shown
in the figures.

stoppers as shown in the figure. Adjust the crown
molding stoppers according to the size of the
crown molding. Tighten the screws to secure the

Cutting aluminum extrusion
Fig.58
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.
WARNING:
Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum
•
extrusions. Thick or round aluminum extrusions
can be difficult to secure and may work loose
during the cutting operation which may result in
loss of control and serious personal injury.

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 and
6 mm screws.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a
suggested wood facing.

CAUTION:
Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood
•
facing.
In order to completely cut through workpieces with
•
a height of 102 mm to 120mm a wood facing
should be used on the guide fence. The wood
facing will space the workpiece away from the
fence allowing the blade to complete a deeper cut.
Example:
When cutting workpieces 115 mm and 120
mm high, use a wood facing with the
following thickness.

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 cause 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.

Groove cutting
Fig.59
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 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
