When securing aluminum extrusions, use spacer blocks or pieces
of scrap as shown in the figure to prevent deformation of the alu-
minum. Use a cutting lubricant when cutting the aluminum extru-
sion 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 alumi-
num extrusions cannot be secured firmly with this
tool.
Wood facing
WARNING:
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 so that they will not
interfere with the positioning of the material being
cut. Misalignment of the material being cut can case
unexpected movement during the cutting operation
which may result in a loss of control and serious
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Use the straight wood of even
thickness as the 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.

NOTICE:
not turn the turn base with the handle lowered.
The blade and/or the wood facing will be damaged.
NOTE: The maximum cutting width will be smaller by
the width of wood facing.
Cutting repetitive lengths
When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length,
ranging from 240 mm (9-29/64") to 380 mm (15"), use
the set plate (optional accessory). 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, and while hold-
ing the workpiece, 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 up to
2,200 mm (7.2ft) approximately.

fully. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered
position by pushing in the stopper pin.
Carry the tool by carrying grip as shown in the figure. If
you remove the holders, dust bag, etc., you can carry
the tool more easily.
