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 clamping screw contacts
the carriage, install it on the opposite side of vise arm.
Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the vise
when lowering the handle 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.
NOTE: For a quick setting of workpiece, turning the
vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows the vise
knob to be moved up and down. To secure the work-
piece after setting, turn the vise knob clockwise.
Horizontal vise
Optional accessory
WARNING:
Always rotate the vise nut clock-
wise until the workpiece is properly secured. If
the workpiece is not properly secured 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.
WARNING:
When cutting a thin workpiece,
such as base boards, against the fence, always
use the horizontal vise.
The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. When performing
22.5° 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 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:
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.
