Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It i s extremely important to always secure the workpiece properly and tightely with the vise. Failure to do so can cause the tool to be damaged and/or the workpiece to be des- troyed. PERSONAL INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also, after any cutting operation, DO NOT raise the blade until the blade has come to a complete stop.
1.Vertical vise
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side of the guide fence, or holder assembly (optional accessory). Insert the vise rod into the hole in the guide fence or holder assembly and tighten the screw to secure the vise rod. (Note: When using the holder assembly, install it on the holder
(optional accessory) as | shown in the | Holderw H k r assembly |
figure.) Position the vise | arm according | |
to the thickness and shape of the work- | ||
piece and secure the vise arm by tighten- | ||
ing the screw. Make sure that no part of | ||
the tool contacts the vise when lowering th. handle fully or when pulling or pushing the carriage. If some part contacts the vise, re-positionthe 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 clamp screw of the vise. The maximum thickness of workpieces which can be secured by the vertical vise is 120 mm
CAUTION :
The workpiece must always be secured firmly against the turn base and guide fence with the vise during all operations.
2.Horizontal vise (optional acccssory)
The horizontal vise can be installed in
two positions on either the left or right side of the base. When performing 15" or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the side opposite the direction in which the turn table is to be turned. By flipping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released, and rapidly moves in and out. To grip workpieces, push the vise knob forward until the vise plate contacts the workDiece and fliD the vise nirt to the
right.' Then turn the vise knob clockwise to secure the workpiece. The maximum width of workpieces which can be secured by the horizontal vise is 200 mm
CAUTION :
Always set the vise nut to the right fully when securing the workpiece. Failure to do so may result in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause damage to the blade or cause the dangerous loss of control of the tool.
