By flipping the vise nut counterclockwise, 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 clock-
wise. Then turn the vise knob clockwise to secure the
workpiece.
NOTE: The maximum width of workpiece which can
be secured by the horizontal vise is 228 mm (9").

Holders

WARNING:
Always support a long workpiece
so it is level with the top surface of the turn base
for an accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss
of tool control. Proper workpiece support will help
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.
To hold long workpieces horizontally, holders are pro-
vided on both sides of the tool. Loosen the screws and
extend the holders to the appropriate length for holding
the workpiece. Then tighten the screws.

OPERATION

WARNING:
the workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with the work-
piece may result in kickback and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
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.
WARNING:
such as turning grip, knob, and levers on the tool
while the blade is rotating. Adjustment while the
blade is rotating may result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to unlock the stopper
pin and release the handle from the lowered position.
NOTICE:
Do not apply excessive pressure on the han-
dle when cutting. Too much force may result in overload of the
motor and/or decreased cutting efficiency. Press down handle
with only as much force as necessary for smooth cutting and
without significant decrease in blade speed.
NOTICE:
Gently press down the handle to per-
form the cut. If the handle is pressed down with force
or if lateral force is applied, the blade may vibrate and
leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the
precision of the cut may be impaired.
NOTICE:
During a slide cut, gently push the carriage
toward the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage
movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be left in
the workpiece and the precision of the cut will be impaired.

Press cutting

WARNING:
of the carriage when performing a press cutting.
Cutting without lock may cause possible kickback
which may result in serious personal injury.
