START UP
Lock the clutch plates by turning the knob clockwise (Fig. 12). Be sure to securely tighten the knob on the vise as
well (Fig. 17). Now engage the power feed toggled RIGHT/ENGAGED FEED position and main motor to begin
advancing the vise and rotating the blade (Fig. 13). The power feed motor will slowly move the vise toward the
blade (approximately 3/16 of an inch per minute). The saw hood does not need to be placed over the saw table
during this power test. Once you have confirmed the vise is moving toward the blade and the blade is turning,
this indicates the saw is functioning properly. The saw can be turned off by flipping the toggle switch to the
MIDDLE/OFF position (Fig. 14).

SLAB SAWING MODE
To begin slabbing of rock material, turn the toggle switch to the MIDDLE/OFF (Fig. 14) position and secure the
material in the rock vise by opening the vise jaws wide enough to fit the material to be cut (Fig. 15). Retighten
the jaws with the wing nut screws on the rock vise (Fig. 16). The material in the vise should be positioned close
to (but not touching) the diamond blade. Disengage (loosening) the clutch plate by turning the knob counter-
clockwise (Fig. 10). Move the vise forward toward the blade.

Once the vise is positioned close to the blade, loosen the knob on the
vise (Fig. 17) and laterally move the vise to the desired slab thickness
to be cut by turning the cross-feed knob (Fig. 18) clockwise or counter-
clockwise. Retighten the knob on the vise.
