Cuts to the Left
If you need to make a cut from 45° to 60°, you will have to make the cut to the left, which will require moving the vise to the right side of the machine.
1.DISCONNECT BANDSAW FROM POWER!
2.Support the vise with one hand and remove the two cap screws that secure the vise to the machine base, then set the vise aside.
3.Lift the headstock to the upmost position, then close the downfeed valve to prevent it from lowering.
4.Remove the two spacers from the holes on the left side of the machine base, then reposition them into the two holes in the right side of the machine base, as shown in Figure 39.

5.Place the vise over the spacers, aligning it so it sits flush on the machine base, then use the two cap screws removed in Step 2 to secure the vise to the base.
6.Loosen the lock handle shown in Figure
38, then swivel the headstock to the desired angle, using the angle scale as a guide.
7.Move the saw through its full range of motion to make sure the blade will not contact the vise during operation, then tighten the swivel lock handle.
Vise
Always turn the saw OFF and allow the blade to come to a complete stop before using the vise! Failure to follow this caution may lead to injury.
