7. Cutting aluminum extrusion
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.
8. Groove cutting
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 on 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 position
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 after pulling the carriage toward you
fully. Lower the handle fully and lock it in the lowered position
by pushing in the stopper pin.
