WARNING:
The workpiece must be secured
firmly against the turn base and guide fence with
the vise during all operations. If the workpiece is
not properly secured against the fence, the material
may move during the cutting operation causing pos-
sible damage to the saw blade, causing the material
to be thrown and loss of control resulting in serious
personal injury.
The vertical vise can be installed into the holes on the
left side of the base, right side of the base, or left side of
the sub base.
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.
Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the vertical
vise when lowering the handle all the way. If some part
contacts the vertical vise, re-position the vertical vise.

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 sub bases are secured by
the thumb screws.
To hold long workpieces horizontally, sub bases are
provided on both sides of the tool. Loosen the thumb
screws and extend the sub bases to the appropriate
length for holding the workpiece. Then tighten the
thumb screws.
