Securing workpiece
WARNING: It is extremely important to always
secure the workpiece correctly with the proper
type of vise. Failure to do so may result in serious
personal injury and cause damage to the tool and/or
the workpiece.
WARNING: When cutting a workpiece that is
longer than the support base of the saw, sup-
port the entire length of the material beyond the
support base and at the same height to keep the
material level. Proper workpiece support helps to
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury. Do not rely solely on
the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the
workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support work-
piece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.

Vertical vise
WARNING: Secure the workpiece firmly against
the turn base and guide fence with the vise during
all operations. Otherwise the material may move
during the cutting operation, cause damage to the
blade, and be thrown which may result in loss of
control and serious personal injury.
Install the vertical vise on either the left or right side of
the guide fence or the holder assembly (optional acces-
sory). Insert the vise rod into the hole in the guide fence
or the holder assembly and tighten the lower screw to
secure the vise rod.

Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the upper screw. If the upper screw contacts
the guide fence, install the upper 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.
Horizontal vise
Optional accessory
WARNING: Grip the workpiece only when the
indicator is at the topmost position. Failure to do
so may result in insufficient securing of the workpiece.
This may cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause
damage to the blade or cause the loss of control,
which may result in personal injury.

By turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw
is released and the vise shaft can be moved rapidly in
and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw
remains secured.
To grip the workpiece, turn the vise knob gently clock-
wise until the indicator reaches its topmost position,
then fasten securely. If the vise knob is forced in or
pulled out while being turned clockwise, the indicator
may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the vise knob
back counterclockwise until the screw is released, and
then turn it again gently clockwise.
The maximum capacity of the horizontal vise is 120 mm
width.
Holders and holder assembly
Optional accessory
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 helps to
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
The holders and the holder assembly (optional acces-
sory) can be installed on either side as a convenient
means of supporting workpieces horizontally.
Install them on the side of the tool, then tighten the
screws firmly to secure them.
►Fig.40: 1. Holder
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod
assembly (optional accessory). It consists of two holder
assemblies and two rods 12.

OPERATION

WARNING: Make sure the blade is not contact-
ing 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.
WARNING: After a cutting operation, do not
raise the blade until it has come to a complete
stop. The raising of a coasting blade may result in
serious personal injury and damage to the workpiece.
WARNING: Do not touch the clamp screws
which secure the slide poles while the saw blade
is rotating. Otherwise the tool may lose control and
result in personal injury.
