Material Clamping and Supporting
• Angles are best clamped and cut with both legs resting against
base
• A spacer block slightly narrower than the work space
can be used to increase wheel utilization.
• Long workpieces must be supported by a block so it will be
level with top of base. The cut off end should be free to fall
downward to avoid wheel binding.
Vise Operation
Vise has a quick travel feature. To release the vise when it is clamped
tightly, turn the crank counterclockwise one or two times to remove
clamping pressure. Lift vise lever up. Pull crank assembly out as far
as desired. Vise may be shoved into work without cranking. Lower
vise lever then tighten vise on work by using crank (see Figure 5).
