Vise Operation (Fig. 6)

The vise (A) has a quick travel feature. To release the vise when it is clamped tightly, turn the crank (B) counterclockwise one or two times to remove clamping pressure. Lift vise lever (C). Pull crank assembly out as far as desired. Vise may be shoved into work without cranking. Lower vise lever then tighten vise on work by using crank.

Fence Operation (Fig. 6)

The fence (D) requires no wrenches to operate. The quick release clamp lever (E) unlocks and locks the fence. When the lever is rotated fully forward, toward the vise, the fence is unlocked. The

fence can then be freely moved forward, backward or rotated to allow for the best cutting position.

Pushing the lever fully to the rear locks the fence in position selected. If the leg (G) of the lever is not horizontal (parallel to the base), the fence is not locked. Lever will only lock fence when there is strong resistance to rotate it backwards, which engages the cam action. If resistance is light, adjust clamping force by slightly tightening the two bolts (F) holding the fence to the base. Test by clamping the

workpiece with the vise. Adjust as needed to assure that the fence does not move and the workpiece is securely clamped.

Fence Angle Adjustment (Fig. 7)

To make angle cuts, unlock and rotate the fence until the desired angle on the angle plate (A) lines up with the edge of the slot (B) in the base, then re-lock the fence.

The angle plate (A) is attached to the fence by screws (E) and is preset at the factory. If it becomes necessary to readjust the angle plate for accuracy, perform the following steps.

1.DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY.

2.Unlock the fence and lock the arm in the down position so the
