Vice - Workpiece Clamping; Adjustment Procedure - Lateral Play Of The Vice - Pilous ARG 200 plus Instruction Manual

4.4. Vice - Workpiece Clamping

The design of the machine allows for angular cutting without a need to handle the workpiece. The workpiece lies between the fixed
clamping jaw and a movable clamping jaw. To set the desired cutting angle, swing the entire arm and the turntable after releasing the
arm swing locking lever. After you set the desired angle (based on the angular scale), the turntable with the arm will lock using the arm
swing locking lever. The stop screws facilitate a permanent setting of limit angles. See the FIXED ARM SWING STOP in Section
4.4.2. In certain saw types (ARG 235 - 330 plus F), when cutting workpieces of the same diameter, the quick-clamping lever allows
release and subsequent workpiece clamping without the need to use the handwheel. Mind the loading of the workpiece parallel with
the fixed jaw of the vice. The quick-clamping lever and the handwheel cannot be used for corrections of wrongly placed long
workpieces in the vice, otherwise you risk a damage to the machine. In the types marked with PLUS, upon loosening the setting
screws, the movable part of the vice moves along the "T" groove to the left or right depending on the arm swing angle. Check whether
the workpiece is properly clamped, otherwise you risk its ejection during cutting!

4.4.1. Adjustment Procedure - Lateral Play of the Vice

You can adjust the lateral play of the vice in all types of saws:
 Open the movable vice jaw to maximum extent.
‚ Loosen the M8 LOCKING NUTS and loosen the M8 VICE PLAY SETTING SCREWS.
ƒ Carefully tighten the first VICE PLAY SETTING SCREW (right at the movable clamping jaw) up to a point, where you feel that the
screw (through a supporting ball) rested on the bar that pushes to the groove.
„ In this position, tighten the screw with an M8 LOCKING NUT against loosening.
... Use the handwheel to move the VICE MOVING BODY, so that the next VICE PLAY SETTING SCREW is in the same position as
the previous screw.
† Repeat points ƒ, „, ... until the vice is completely closed and therefore adjusted.
