While the thread holder is lifted, the vise plate can be moved in
and out quickly. To grip a workpiece, push the handle until the vise
plate contacts the workpiece then return the thread holder. Turn
the handle clockwise until the workpiece is securely retained.

When the cut-off wheel has worn down considerably, place
a spacer block behind the workpiece as shown in the figure.
You can more efficiently utilize the worn wheel by using the
mid point on the periphery of the wheel to cut the workpiece.
Use a sturdy and non-flammable material for a spacer block.

When cutting workpieces over 85 mm (3-3/8") wide at an
angle, attach a straight piece of wood (spacer) over 190 mm
(7-1/2") long x 40 mm (1-9/16") wide to the guide plate as
shown in the figure. Attach this spacer with screws through
the holes in the guide plate. Make sure that the cut-off wheel
does not contact the spacer when the tool head is depressed.

NOTICE:
When using a spacer block, install the
guide plate to the position nearest to the neck of
the tool head.
When the cut-off wheel has worn down, raise the cutting
position by putting a spacer block which is slightly nar-
rower than the workpiece as shown in the figure. This
will help you to utilize the cut-off wheel economically.
