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.
8. Groove cutting
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding as fol-

lows:
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" sec-
tion described previously.
After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,
cut parallel grooves across the width of the work-
piece using a slide (push) cut as shown in the fig-
ure. Then remove the workpiece material between
the grooves with a chisel. Do not attempt to perform
this type of cut using wide (thick) blades or with a
