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 on the blade teeth when cutting the aluminum extrusion to prevent build-up of the aluminum mate- rial on the blade.

CAUTION:

Never attempt to cut thick or round aluminum extrusions. Thick aluminum extrusions may come loose during the cutting operation and round aluminum extrusions are very difficult to be secured firmly and safely with this tool.

8.Wood facing

When cutting workpieces from 107 mm (4-3/16") to 120 mm (4-3/4") high, use a wood facing attached to the face of the guide fence to prevent a portion of the workpiece near the guide fence from being left uncut. Attach a straight wood board of even thick ness to the guide fence using the holes in the guide fence and screws. The screws should be installed so that their heads remain beneath the surface of the wood facing. See the figure below concerning the dimensions for a suggested wood facing.

NOTE :

When using a wood facing, the max. cutting width will be reduced by the thickness of the wood facing.
