To install the blade, mount the inner flange,

the spindle in that order. Tighten the hex
bolt by turning clockwise while pressing the
shaft lock. Return the safety cover and
center cover to the original position. Then
tighten the hex bolt clockwise to secure the

Setting for desired cutting angle
CAUTION:
Always tighten the hex bolt securely after changing the cutting angle.
To change the cutting angle, loosen the

cator will point to the desired graduation.
Then tighten the lever to secure the vise
stop.

Securing workpieces
CAUTION:
Always set the vise nut to the right fully when securing the workpiece. Failure to do so
may result in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could cause the workpiece to be
ejected or cause damage to the blade.
By turning the vise handle counterclock-
wise and then flipping the vise nut to the
left, the vise is released from the shaft
threads and can be moved rapidly in and
out. To grip workpieces, push the vise
handle until the vise plate contacts the
workpiece. Flip the vise nut to the right and
then turn the vise handle clockwise to
securely retain the workpiece.
