CAUTION:
• When performing left bevel cuts or cutting as table saw
(bench mode), remove the sub-fence. Otherwise, it will
contact the blade or a part of the tool, causing possible
serious injury to the operator.
Vertical vise (Fig. 41)
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the guide fence. Insert the
vise rod into the hole in the guide fence and tighten the
clamping 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 tight-
ening the clamping screw. If the screw to secure the vise
arm contacts the guide fence, install the clamping screw
on the opposite side of vise arm. Make sure that no part
of the tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle all
the way. If some part contacts the vise, re-position the
vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn table. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
CAUTION:
• The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn
table and guide fence.
Setting up the tool in table saw mode
CAUTION:
• Before use in the table saw mode, make sure that the
turn table has been secured at 0° miter angle with the
clamping screw on the guide fence.
• Before use in the table saw mode, make sure that the
tool head has been secured with the lever.
• Before use in the table saw mode, make sure that the
riving knife has been secured in place properly.
• Before use in the table saw mode, remove the lower
blade guard C.
• In table saw mode, release the lower limit stopper.
The tool is shipped from the factory with the set-up in
miter saw mode. Before use in table saw mode, change
the set up and follow the procedure below.
