189. Cutting repetitive lengthsWhen cutting several pieces of stock to the samelength, ranging from 220 mm (8-5/8”) to 385 mm(15-1/8”), use of the set plate (optional accessory)will facilitate more efficient operation. Install the setplate on the holder (optional accessory) as shownin the figure.Align the cutting line on your workpiece with eitherthe left or right side of the groove in the kerf board,and while holding the workpiece from moving, movethe set plate flush against the end of the workpiece.Then secure the set plate with the screw. When theset plate is not used, loosen the screw and turn theset plate out of the way.NOTE:• Use of the holder-rod assembly (optional accessory)allows cutting repetitive lengths up to 2,200 mm(7.2ft) approximately.10. Groove cuttingA dado type cut can be made by proceeding as fol-lows:Adjust the lower limit position of the blade using theadjusting screw and the stopper arm to limit the cut-ting depth of the blade. Refer to “Stopper arm” sec-tion described on previously.After adjusting the lower limit position of the blade,cut parallel grooves across the width of the work-piece using a slide (push) cut as shown in the fig-ure. Then remove the workpiece material betweenthe grooves with a chisel. Do not attempt to performthis type of cut using wide (thick) blades or with adado blade. Possible loss of control and injury mayresult.CAUTION:• Be sure to return the stopper arm to the originalposition when performing other than groove cutting.Carrying toolMake sure that the tool is unplugged.
