009502
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. Insert the vise rod
into the hole in the base.
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 carriage, 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.
Turning the vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows the
vise knob to be moved up and down, facilitating the
quick setting of workpiece. To secure the workpiece after
setting, turn it the vise knob clockwise.
CAUTION:
The workpiece must be secured firmly against the
•
turn base and guide fence with the vise during all
operations.

When performing 15° or greater miter cuts, install the
horizontal vise on the side opposite the direction in
which the turn base is to be turned.
By flipping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released,
and rapidly moves in and out. To grip the workpiece,
push the vise knob forward until the vise plate contacts
the workpiece and flip the vise nut to the right. Then turn
the vise knob clockwise to secure the workpiece.
The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured
by the horizontal vise is 215 mm.
CAUTION:
Always rotate 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 thrown, cause damage
to the blade or cause the loss of control, which can
result in PERSONAL INJURY.
When cutting out thin workpiece, such as base
•
boards, against the fence, always use the
horizontal vise.
Holders (Optional accessory)
1
009607
The holders can be installed on either side as a
convenient means of holding workpieces horizontally.
Slip the holder rods into the holes in the base and adjust
their length according to the workpiece to be held. Then
tighten the holders securely with the screws.
CAUTION:
Always support long workpieces level with the top
•
surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to
prevent dangerous loss of control of the tool.
