12.Cutting easily-deformed materials, such as aluminum sash

Materials such as aluminum sash can easily deform when tightened too much in a vise assembly. This will cause inefficient cutting and possible overload of the motor. When cutting such materials, use a wood plate to protect the workpiece as shown in Fig. 48-a. Set the wood plate near the cutting section.

When cutting aluminum materials, coat the saw blade with cutting oil (non-combustible) to achieve smooth cutting and a fine finish.

In addition, in case of a U-shaped workpiece, use the wood plate as shown in Fig. 48-b to ensure stability in the lateral direction, and clamp it near the cutting section of the workpiece and tighten it using both the vise assembly and the clamp available in the market.

13. How to use the dust bag (Standard accessory)

Dust Bag

Duct

 

 

(1) When the dust bag has become full of sawdust,

 

 

dust will be blown out of the dust bag when

 

 

the saw blade rotates.

 

 

Check the dust bag periodically and empty it

 

 

before it becomes full.

 

 

(2) During bevel and compound cutting, attach the

 

 

dust bag at a right angle to the base surface as

shown in Fig. 49.

CAUTION: Empty the dust bag frequently to prevent the duct and the lower guard from becoming clogged.

Sawdust will accumulate more quickly than normal during bevel cutting.
