The vertical vise can be installed on either the left or right
side of the guide fence. Insert the vise rod into the hole in
the guide fence and tighten the screw on the back of the
guide fence 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. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, 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.
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
possible damage to the blade, causing the material
to be thrown and loss of control resulting in serious
personal injury.
