vise fence
For optimal cutting results, the center-line of the
blade must be as close as possible to the center-
line of the workpiece. the workpiece alignment is
determined by both the position and the angle of
the vise fence. since the position and the angle
of the fence are related, both must be adjusted at
the same time.
To adjust the vise fence:
1. disConneCt saW FroM poWer!
2. loosen the vise angle lock lever and the vise
location lock lever (
figure 7).

3. place the workpiece against the vise fence,
then, using the scale as a guide, set the
approximate desired angle of cut.
4. While maintaining the angle of the vise fence,
slide the fence along the base until the center-
line of the workpiece approximately matches
the center-line of the saw (
figure 8).
Note: Because the center-line of the saw
changes as the saw arm moves, it is neces-
sary to lower the saw for proper alignment.
Check for proper alignment periodically as
you adjust the fence position.

use the chart shown in
figure 9 as a guide to
quickly position the workpiece between the vise
jaws correctly and to avoid slipping during a cut.
do not Cut steel that is staCKed or
bundled. one or more workpieces will slip and
damage the saw blade.
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.
