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.
