CAUTION:
When performing bevel cuts, slide the sliding fence
•
to the left and secure it as shown in the figure.
Otherwise, it will contact the blade or a part of the
tool, causing possible serious injury to the
operator.
This tool is equipped with the sliding fence which should
ordinarily be positioned as shown in the figure.
However, when performing left bevel cuts, set it to the left
position as shown in the figure if the tool head contacts it.
When bevel-cutting operations are complete, don't forget
to return the sliding fence to the original position and
secure it by firmly tightening the clamping screw.

The vertical vise can be installed 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 screw on the back of the
guide fence 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 screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, 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.
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.

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 (8-1/2").
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.
