CAUTION:
Use straight wood of even thickness as the wood facing.
When cutting workpieces from 115 mm (4 -1/2) to 120
mm (4 - 3/4) high, use a wood facing to prevent a
portion of the workpiece near the guide fence from being
left uncut.
Example:
When cutting workpieces 120 mm (4 - 3/4) high,
use a wood facing with the following thickness.
C00146
CAUTION:
Use screws to attach the wood facing to the guide fence.
The screws should be installed so that the screw heads
are below the surface of the wood facing.
When the wood facing is attached, do not turn the turn
base with the handle lowered. The blade and/or the
wood facing will be damaged.
9. 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.
