Vise Clamp; Trigger Lock; Carrying Handle - Ryobi C358 Operator's Manual

VISE CLAMP

A vise clamp has been provided with the cut-off machine.
It is located on the end of the vise screw and provides
greater control by clamping the material to the fence. It also
prevents the material from creeping toward the wheel during
a cutting operation.
ADJUSTABLE FENCE
The fence on the cut-off machine has been provided to sup-
port the material and provide clamping support to the vise
for holding the material securely when making all cuts. It
is an adjustable fence that has been provided to make the
cut-off machine more versatile. It adjusts from 0° to 45° to
the right for making angled cuts. The hole pattern allows it
to be moved forward when making cuts in tall or thick stock,
such as square stock or tube stock. The hole pattern allows
it to be moved back when making cuts in stock that is thin
or wide, such as angle stock.

CARRYING HANDLE

For convenience when carrying or transporting the cut-
off machine from one place to another, a carrying handle
has been provided on top of the machine arm as shown in
figure 3. To transport, turn off and unplug the machine, then
lower machine arm and lock it in the down position. Use the
transport chain to lock machine arm in the down position.

a padlock (not included) through the hole in the switch
trigger. A lock with a shackle up to 1/4 in. diameter may be
