Vertical vise
Fig.45
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. Insert the vise
rod into the hole in the base.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the carriage, install the screw on the opposite
side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool
contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and
pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part
contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
Turning the vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows
the vise knob to be moved up and down, facilitating the
quick setting of workpiece. To secure the workpiece
after setting, turn the vise knob clockwise.
WARNING:
The workpiece must be secured firmly against
•
the turn base and guide fence with the vise
during all operations. If the workpiece is not
properly secured against the fence the material
may move during the cutting operation causing
possible damage to the blade, causing the
material to be thrown and loss of control resulting
in serious personal injury.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
Fig.46
The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base.
Fig.47
When performing 15° or greater miter cuts, install the
horizontal vise on the side opposite the direction in
which the turn base is to be turned.
By flipping the vise nut counterclockwise, the vise is
released, and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the
workpiece, push the vise knob forward until the vise
plate contacts the workpiece and flip the vise nut
clockwise. Then turn the vise knob clockwise to secure
the workpiece.
The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured
by the horizontal vise is 215 mm.
WARNING:
Always rotate the vise nut clockwise until the
•
workpiece is properly secured. If the workpiece
is not properly secured the material may move
during the cutting operation causing possible
damage to the blade, causing the material to be
thrown and loss of control resulting in serious
personal injury.
When cutting a thin workpiece, such as base
•
boards, against the fence, always use the
horizontal vise.
Holders (Optional accessory)
Fig.48
The holders can be installed on either side as a
convenient means of holding workpieces horizontally.
Slip the holder rods into the holes in the base and adjust
their length according to the workpiece to be held. Then
tighten the holders securely with the screws.
WARNING:
Always support a long workpiece so it is level
•
with the top surface of the turn base for an
accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss of
tool control. Proper workpiece support will help
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which
may result in serious personal injury.

OPERATION

NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to release the handle from the
•
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle
•
when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
efficiency. Push down handle with only as much
force as is necessary for smooth cutting and
without significant decrease in blade speed.
Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If
•
the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral
force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a
mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the
precision of the cut will be impaired.
During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward
•
the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage
movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will
be left in the workpiece and the precision of the
cut will be impaired.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade is not contacting the
•
workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with
the workpiece may result in kickback and serious
personal injury.
1. Press cutting (cutting small workpieces)
Fig.49
Workpieces up to 87 mm high and 183 mm wide
can be cut in the following manner.
After turning the stopper lever clockwise and
sliding the carriage to your desired position, push
the carriage toward the guide fence fully and
tighten the locking screw clockwise and pull the
lock lever towards the front of the saw to secure
the carriage. Secure the workpiece correctly with
