leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will
be impaired.
1. Press cutting
Secure the workpiece with the vise. Switch on the tool without the blade
making any contact and wait until the blade attains full speed before low-
ering. Then gently lower the handle to the fully lowered position to cut the
workpiece. When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT
UNTIL THE BLADE HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before return-
ing the blade to its fully elevated position.
2. Miter cutting
Refer to the previously covered Adjusting the miter angle.
3. 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.
4. 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 suggested wood facing.
