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 pos-
sible damage to the circular saw 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.
CAUTION:
When cutting the workpiece of the
thickness 20 mm (13/16") or thinner, make sure to
use a spacer block to secure the workpiece.
The horizontal vise can be installed in either the left or
right side of the base. When performing 22.5° or greater
miter cuts, install the horizontal vise in the side opposed
to the direction in which the turn base is to be turned.

workpiece.
NOTE: The maximum width of workpiece which can
be secured by the horizontal vise is 228 mm (9").

Holders
WARNING:
Always support a long workpiece
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.
WARNING:
Before the cutting operation,
always be sure that the holders are secured by
the screws.
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.
