Cutting Capacity

The wide vise opening and high pivot point provide
cutting capacity for many large pieces. Use the
cutting capacity chart to determine total maximum
size of cuts that can be made with a new wheel.

irregularly shaped objects may require
additional holding means if they cannot
be held securely in vise.

Material Clamping and Supporting
• Angles are best clamped and cut with both legs
resting against base.
• A spacer block (r) slightly narrower than the
workpiece (t) can be used to increase wheel
utilization (fig. 3).
• Long workpieces must be supported by a block
(s) so it will be level with top of base (fig. 4). The
cut-off end (t) should be free to fall downward to
avoid wheel binding.
Spark Defl ector Adjustment (fi g. 1)
To best deflect sparks away from surrounding
persons and materials, loosen the screw (b), adjust
the spark deflector (c) and then retighten screw.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Do
not allow cordset to come into contact
with deflector or sparks as damage to
cordset may occur.

vise (f) when it is clamped tightly, turn the crank
(h) counterclockwise one or two times to remove
clamping pressure. Lift the vise lever (i) up. Pull crank
assembly out as far as desired. The vise may be
shoved into work without cranking. Lower vise lever
then tighten vise on work by using crank.
