Securing workpiece

By turning the vise handle counterclockwise and then
flipping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released from
the shaft threads and can be moved rapidly in and out. To
grip workpieces, push the vise handle until the vise plate
contacts the workpiece. Flip the vise nut to the right and
then turn the vise handle clockwise to securely retain the
workpiece.
CAUTION:
Always set the vise nut to the right fully when
•
securing the workpiece. Failure to do so may result
in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could
cause the workpiece to be ejected or cause a
dangerous breakage of the wheel.
When the cut-off wheel has worn down considerably, use
a spacer block of sturdy, non-flammable material behind
the workpiece as shown in the figure. You can more
efficiently utilize the worn wheel by using the mid point on
the periphery of the wheel to cut the workpiece.
