When making miter cuts of 35 degrees or more, to the side that the vise is mounted, the
safety cover movement may be slightly obstructed by the vise. This only occurs when
the workpiece dimensions are more than 90 mm (3-1/2") in width and less than 60 mm
(2-3/8") in height, or less than
90
mm (3-1/2") in width and less than 30 mm (1-3/16")
in height. If this situation occurs, re-mount the vise on the other side of the tool's base.
