G9743 7" x 12" Metal-Cutting Bandsaw
Vise
The vise on the Model G9743 has a positive lock-
ing feature that improves productivity by open-
ing the vise jaws just enough to slide material
through.
To use the positive lock:
1.
Raise the headstock above the workpiece
and lock in place.
2.
Place the vise handle in the half open posi-
tion (45°). See Figure 12.
3.
Place the workpiece between the jaws and
turn the handwheel until the rear jaw makes
contact with the workpiece.
4.
Push the positive lock handle down to the
lock position (0°). As you do this you will
feel the handle tighten against the workpiece
(see Figure 12).
5.
To loosen the workpiece, lift the vise handle
to the fully open position (90°).
6.
Slide the stock to the workstop for your next
cut. The vise position will not change as long
as you don't change the position of the vise
jaws with the handwheel.
