• Reposition the rear vise jaw; there are three (3) possible
positions available because of the six (6) threaded holes in the machine's base. Replace lever handled locking
screw and the socket headed screw into their new service positions. Ensure that all standard and locking
washers are correctly positioned.
Repositioning the rear vise jaw to the rear-most position will enable wider pieces of material to be cut than is
possible with the rear vise jaw in either of the more forward positions.
'V' Clamp Jaw (If supplied)
The 'V' Clamp Jaw slips over the moving front vise jaw It should be used when cutting round material as it
provides greater
clamping security. It should also be used to cut square tube in a diamond position (Fig. 10).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: The tool is recommended to always be supplied via a residual current device with a rated residual
current of 30 mA or less.
PREPARING TO MAKE A CUT
Do not overreach. Keep good footing and balance. Stand to one side so that your face and body are out of line
of a possible kickback.
Caution: The minimum cut off piece must be 8mm (5/16") or greater in length to avoid the piece falling
through the blade slot and causing any potential danger. (Fig 11)

WARNING: Freehand cutting is a major cause of accidents and should not be attempted. Ensure that the
workpiece is firmly secured in the vise.
