11. Groove cutting procedures
Grooves in the workpiece can be cut as indicated in Fig. 46 by adjusting the 8mm depth adjustment
bolt.
Cutting depth adjustment procedure:
(1) Loosen the 8mm wing nut and turn the 8mm depth adjustment bolt by hand.
(2) Adjust to the desired cutting depth by setting the distance between the saw blade and the surface of
the base (see b in Fig. 46).
(3) The 8mm wing nut must be properly tightened after the adjustment has been completed.
NOTE:
When cutting a single groove at either end of the workpiece, remove the unneeded portion
with a chisel.
12. Cutting easily-deformed materials, such as aluminum sash
Materials such as aluminum sash can easily deform when tightened too much in a vise assembly. This
will cause inefficient cutting and possible overload of the motor.
When cutting such materials, use a wood plate to protect the workpiece as shown in Fig. 48. Set the
wood plate near the cutting section.
When cutting aluminum materials, coat the saw blade with cutting oil (non-combustible) to achieve
smooth cutting and a fine finish.
In addition, in case of a U-shaped workpiece, use the wood plate as shown in Fig. 49 to ensure stability
in the lateral direction, and clamp it near the cutting section of the workpiece and tighten it using both
the vise assembly and the clamp available in the market.

CAUTION:
Empty the dust bag frequently to prevent the duct and the safety cover from becoming
clogged.
Sawdust will accumulate more quickly than normal during bevel cutting.

(1) When the dust bag has become full of sawdust, dust will be
blown out of the dust bag when the saw blade rotates.
Check the dust bag periodically and empty it before it becomes
full.
(2) During bevel and compound cutting, attach the dust bag at a
right angle to the base surface as shown in Fig. 50.
