1. Cutting aluminum extrusion
When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks
or pieces of scrap as shown in Fig. 50 to prevent defor-
mation 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 extru-
sions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come loose dur-
ing operation and round aluminum extrusions cannot
be secured firmly with this tool.
2. Groove cutting (Fig. 51)
A dado type cut can be made by proceeding 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" section
described previously.
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.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the original posi-
tion when performing other than groove cutting.
Carrying tool
Make sure that the tool is unplugged. Secure the blade at
0° bevel angle and the turn base at right miter angle fully.
Secure the slide poles so that the lower slide pole is
locked in the position of the carriage fully pulled to opera-
tor and the upper poles are locked in the position of the
carriage fully pushed forward to the guide fence (refer to
the section titled "Slide lock adjustment".) Lower the han-
dle fully and lock it in the lowered position by pushing in
the stopper pin. (Fig. 52)
Carry the tool by holding both sides of the tool base as
shown in the figure. If you remove the holders, dust bag,
etc., you can carry the tool more easily. (Fig. 53)
CAUTION:
• Always secure all moving portions before carrying the
tool.
• Stopper pin is for carrying and storage purposes only
and not for any cutting operations.
MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection or
maintenance.

WARNING:
• Always be sure that the blade is sharp and clean for the
best and safest performance.
Adjusting the cutting angle
This tool is carefully adjusted and aligned at the factory,
but rough handling may have affected the alignment. If
your tool is not aligned properly, perform the following:
1. Miter angle
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and tighten the
locking screw clockwise and pull the lock lever toward
yourself to secure the carriage.
Turn the grip counterclockwise which secures the turn
base. Turn the turn base so that the pointer points to 0°
on the miter scale. Then turn the turn base slightly clock-
wise and counterclockwise to seat the turn base in the 0°
miter notch. (Leave as it is if the pointer does not point to
0°.) Loosen the hex socket bolts securing the guide fence
using the socket wrench.
Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
by pushing in the stopper pin. Square the side of the
blade with the face of the guide fence using a triangular
rule, try-square, etc. Then securely tighten the hex
socket bolts on the guide fence in the order from the right
side. (Fig. 54)
Make sure that the pointer points to 0° on the miter scale.
If the pointer does not point to 0°, loosen the screw which
secures the pointer and adjust the pointer so that it will
point to 0°. (Fig. 55)
2. Bevel angle
Push the latch lever forward fully to release the positive
stops.
1) 0° bevel angle
Push the carriage toward the guide fence and
tighten the locking screw clockwise and pull the lock
lever toward yourself to secure the carriage. Lower
the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position by
pushing in the stopper pin. Loosen the lever at the
rear of the tool. (Fig. 56)
Turn the hex socket bolt on the right side of the arm
holder two or three revolutions counterclockwise to
tilt the blade to the right. (Fig. 57)
Carefully square the side of the blade with the top
surface of the turn base using the triangular rule, try-
square, etc. by turning the hex socket bolt on the
right side of the arm holder clockwise. Then tighten
the lever securely. (Fig. 58)
Make sure that the two pointers on the arm holder
point to each 0° on the bevel scale on the arm
holder. If they do not point to 0°, loosen the screws
which secure the pointers and adjust them so that
they will point to 0°. (Fig. 59)
