The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the guide fence or the
holder assembly (optional accessory). Insert the vise
rod into the hole in the guide fence or the holder assem-
bly and tighten the screw to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the oppo-
site 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.
CAUTION:
• The workpiece must be secured firmly against
the turn base and guide fence with the vise
during all operations.

► 1. Vise plate 2. Vise nut 3. Vise knob
The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. When performing
15° 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 to the left, 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 to the right. Then turn
the vise knob clockwise to secure the workpiece.
The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured
by the horizontal vise is 200 mm (7-7/8").
CAUTION:
• Always rotate the vise nut to the right fully when
securing the workpiece. Failure to do so may
result in insufficient securing of the workpiece.
This could cause the workpiece to be thrown,
cause damage to the blade or cause the loss
of control, which can result in PERSONAL
INJURY.
