Securing workpiece

WARNING:
It is extremely important to always secure the
•
workpiece correctly with the proper type of vise.
Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury
and cause damage to the tool and/or the workpiece.
After a cutting operation do not raise the blade
•
until it has come to a complete stop. The raising
of a coasting blade may result in serious personal
injury and damage to the workpiece.
When cutting a workpiece that is longer than
•
the support base of the saw, the material should
be supported the entire length beyond the
support base and at the same height to keep the
material level. Proper workpiece support will help
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury. Do not rely solely
on the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure
the workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support
workpiece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch
and possible KICKBACK.

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the guide fence or the holder
assembly (optional accessory). Insert the vise rod into
the hole in the guide fence or the holder assembly and
tighten the screw to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm

contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the
opposite side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the
tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and
pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part
contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
WARNING:
The workpiece must be secured firmly against
•
the turn base and guide fence with the vise
during all operations. If the workpiece is not
properly secured against the fence the material
may move during the cutting operation causing
possible damage to the blade, causing the material
to be thrown and loss of control resulting in serious
personal injury.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory)

The horizontal vise can be installed on the left side of the
base. By turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the
screw is released and the vise shaft can be moved
rapidly in and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the
screw remains secured. To grip the workpiece, turn the
vise knob gently clockwise until the projection reaches its
topmost position, then fasten securely. If the vise knob is
forced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise, the
projection may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the vise
knob back counterclockwise until the screw is released,
before turning again gently clockwise.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be
secured by the horizontal vise is 120 mm.
WARNING:
Grip the workpiece only when the projection is
•
at the topmost position. Failure to do so may
result in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This
could cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause
damage to the blade or cause the loss of control,
which can result in PERSONAL INJURY.
