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.
The vise has a quick release feature that allows jaw width to be quickly adjusted when changing from one sized material to another.
To rapidly change the vise jaw gap:
1.Turn the handwheel counterclockwise to relieve any pressure on the vise jaw.
2.Lift the handle on the vise quick adjustment, then pull or push the jaw in the desired direc- tion.
3.Finish tightening the jaw against the workpiece with the handwheel.
Note: Figure 37 shows correct methods of holding different workpiece shapes.

The blade guide bearings are mounted on the front and rear arms. The upper arm is adjustable and should be set as close to the workpiece as possible. This will help ensure straight cuts by keeping the blade from twisting and drifting off of the cut line. It also maximizes safety by exposing only enough blade to make the cut.
To adjust the rear blade guide arm:
Loosen the knob shown in Figure 38 and slide the rear blade guide as close to the workpiece as possible, then tighten the knob.
