To adjust the fences before bevel-cutting, loosen a lever
and slide the upper fence outward. Make a dry run with
the saw turned off and check clearance.
Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practical
to provide maximum workpiece support, without
interfering with arm up and down movement. Tighten
lever securely. When the bevel operations are complete,
don't forget to relocate the fence.
NOTE:
For easy tightening/loosening, the position of the
•
lever can be changed according to your need by
pulling it up.
Vertical vise

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. Insert the vise rod
into the hole in the base.
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 carriage, install the screw on the opposite
side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool
contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and
pulling or pushing the carriage 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.
Turning the vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows the
vise knob to be moved up and down, facilitating the
quick setting of workpiece. To secure the workpiece after
setting, turn it the vise knob clockwise.
CAUTION:
The workpiece must be secured firmly against the
•
turn base and guide fence with the vise during all
operations.
