TO CHANGE SPACING BETWEEN THE FENCE AND VISE

Using the wrench provided, loosen and remove the two fence bolts
(Q). Adjust the fence (E) to desired locations. Insert both fence bolts
in provided locations. Securely tighten both fence bolts before use.
Depth Stop (Fig. 1)
Depth stop is set at the factory for a new 14" (355  mm) wheel to
prevent wheel from cutting into the supporting surface. To allow more
depth of cut, use the flat wrench provided (G) to loosen the depth
stop bolt (M) and raise bolt to desired height and then turn jam nut
(P) clockwise until seated firmly on the casting. Securely tighten the
depth stop bolt before use.
CAUTION: When changing to a new wheel, readjust depth stop to
original position to prevent cutting into supporting surface.

release the trigger switch. Keep hands and material from wheel until
it has coasted to a stop.
To prevent unauthorized use of tool, install a standard padlock (not
