2. Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
The horizontal vise can be installed on either the left or right side of the base. When
performing 15" or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the side opposite the
direction in which the turn table is to be turned. By turning the knob on the vise coun-
terclockwise, the screw is released and the vise shaft can be moved rapidly in and out.
By turning the knob clockwise, the screw remains secured. To grip workpieces, turn
the knob gently clockwise until the projection reaches it topmost position, then fasten
securely. If the knob is forced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise, the projec-
tion may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the knob back counterclockwise until the
screw is released, before turning again gently clockwise.

screws firmly to secure the holders and
