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.

facing.
When cutting workpieces from 115 mm to 120 mm
•
high, use a wood facing to prevent a portion of the
workpiece near the guide fence from being left
uncut.
Example:
When cutting workpieces 120 mm high, use a
wood facing with the following thickness.

CAUTION:
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
