Spark Deflector Adjustment
To best deflect sparks away from surrounding persons and materials, loosen
the screw, adjust the spark deflector and then retighten screw (see Figure 5).
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 6).

Fence Operation

Fence requires no wrenches to adjust. The quick release clamp lever
unlocks and locks the fence. When the lever is rotated fully forward,
the fence is unlocked. The fence can then be freely moved forward,
backward or rotated to allow for the best cutting position for a new
wheel and as the wheel wears.
Rotating the lever fully to the rear locks the fence in position selected.
If the bottom leg of the lever is not horizontal (parallel to the base), the
fence is not locked. Lever will only lock fence when there is strong
resistance to moving it to rear. If resistance is light, adjust clamping
force by tightening slightly the two bolts holding the fence to the base.
Test by reclamping and attempt to move fence (see Figure 6).
