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:
round aluminum extrusions. Thick or round alumi-
num extrusions can be difficult to secure and the work
may loosen during the cutting operation which may
result in loss of control and serious personal injury.

Groove cutting

WARNING:
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.
WARNING:
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.
For a dado type cut, perform as follows:
1. 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" section
described on previously.
2.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,
cut parallel grooves across the width of the workpiece
using a slide (push) cut.
► Fig.52: 1. Cut grooves with blade
3. Remove the workpiece material between the
grooves with a chisel.
