Securing workpiece
Whenever possible, secure the workpiece with the optional vise. If you must use your
hand to hold the workpiece, then it must be done firmly and securely
so as
not
to
lose
con-
trol of the workpiece. Your hand and arm must be kept well away from the blade area (4"
minimum). Squeeze the workpiece firmly against the guide fence with your fingers held
over the top of the guide fence. The workpiece must also rest steadily on the turn base.
WARNING:
Never use your hand to hold the workpiece that requires your hand to be any closer than
4" from the blade area. In this case, always use the optional vise to secure the workpiece.
After any cutting operation, raise the blade gently. Never raise the blade until it has come
to a complete stop. Serious injury may result.
1. Vertical vise (optional accessory)
The vertical vise can be installed on the guide fence or the holder assembly (optional
accessory).
Insert the vise rod into the hole in the
guide fence or holder assembly and
tighten the screw to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the
thickness and shape of the workpiece
and secure the vise arm by tightening
the screw. Press the workpiece flat
against the guide fence and the turn
base. Position of the workpiece
a t
the
desired cutting position and secure it
firmly by tightening the clamp screw.

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
a t
an angle. In this case, turn the knob back counterclockwise until the
screw is released, before turning again gently clockwise.
