Use and maintenance manual DM-1215
Rapid vice positioning
By means of a simple device the vice can be slid back and forth to accelerate vice
opening and closing operations.
Grip the lever illustrated in the figure below and rotate in a clockwise direc­
tion: the vice is now free to slide back and forth to the required position.
Once positioned, release the lever to lock the vice in place.
Finally, position the vice to within 2
−
3 mm of the workpiece using the hand­
wheel.
Rapid vice translation
For angled cuts, the vice may be slid to the left or right along the prismatic guide.
Release the locking lever illustrated in the figure below.
Position the vice to the right or left and lock the lever.
Width of cut
The machine is fitted with protections which protect the entire blade stroke,
leaving exposed only the part of the blade required to make the cut itself as
specified by current standards. The width of the cut is determined by the
longitudinal section of the workpiece, so that only the part of the blade required
to make the cut is actually exposed.
