Horizontal vise
Optional accessory
WARNING:
Always rotate the vise nut clock-
wise 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 saw blade, causing the material to be
thrown and loss of control resulting in serious per-

WARNING:
When cutting a thin workpiece,
such as base boards, against the fence, always
use the horizontal vise.
CAUTION:
When cutting the workpiece of the
thickness 20 mm or thinner, make sure to use a
spacer block to secure the workpiece.
The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. When performing
22.5° or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on
the side opposite the direction in which the turn base is
to be turned.

be secured by the horizontal vise is 228 mm.
Sub base
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

WARNING:
Before the cutting operation,
always be sure that the sub bases are secured by
the screws.
To hold long workpieces horizontally, sub bases are
provided on both sides of the tool. Loosen the screws
and extend the sub bases to the appropriate length for
holding the workpiece. Then tighten the screws.
