Cutting repetitive lengths
When cutting several pieces of stock to
the same length, ranging from 220 m m
(8-5/8") to 385 mm (1 5-1/8"), use of the
set plate (optional accessory) will facili-
tate more efficient operation. Install the
set plate on the holder 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, and
while holding the workpiece from mov-
ing, move the set plate flush against the
end
of
the workpiece. Then secure the
set plate with the screw. When the set
plate is not used, loosen the screw and turn the set plate out of the way.

NOTE:
Use of the holder-rod assembly (optional accessory) allows cutting repetitive lengths,
ranging from 220 mm (8-5/8") to 2,230 mm (7.3 ft.)
8. Groove cutting
A dado type cut can be made
by
pro-
ceeding as follows:
Adjust the lower limit position of the
blade using the adjusting screw and the
stopper arm to limit the cutting depth of
the blade. Refer to "Stopper arm" expla-
nations described on previous page.
After adjusting the lower limit position of
the blade, cut parallel grooves across the
width of the workpiece using a slide
(push) cut as shown in the figure. 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 dado blade. Possible loss of control and injury may result.
