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 circular saw 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.

Cutting repetitive lengths
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same
length, ranging from 225 mm to 350 mm, pull up the set
plate as shown in the figure.

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 circular saw
blade using the adjusting screw and the stopper arm to
limit the cutting depth of the circular saw blade. Refer to
the section for stopper arm.
2. After adjusting the lower limit position of the circu-
lar saw blade, cut parallel grooves across the width of
the workpiece using a slide (push) cut.
► Fig.48: 1. Cut grooves with saw blade
3. Remove the workpiece material between the
grooves with a chisel.
