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.
7. 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.
See the figure concerning the dimensions for a sug-
gested wood facing.

CAUTION:
• Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood
facing.
• 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.
• 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.
8. Cutting repetitive lengths
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same
length, ranging from 240 mm (9-29/64") to 400 mm
(15-3/4"), use of the set plate (optional accessory)
will facilitate more efficient operation. Install the set
plate on the holder (optional accessory) as shown
in the figure.
Align the cutting line on your workpiece with either
the left or right side of the groove in the kerf board,
