9.Cutting repetitive lengths

When cutting several pieces of stock to the same length, ranging from 305 mm (12") to 440 mm (17-5/16"), use of the set plate (optional accessory) will facili- tate more efficient operation. Install the set plate on the holder (optional acces- sory) 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 holding the workpiece from moving, 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.

10.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 on the stopper arm to limit the cutting depth of the blade. To adjust it, rotate the stopper arm to the posi- tion shown in the figure. Adjust the adjusting screw so that the blade stops at the de- sired position when lowering the handle fully. 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.
