WARNING
Disconnect machine from the power source
before adjusting or changing vise position!
Failure to comply may cause serious injury!
Adjusting Vise Square to the Blade
Position A
1. Place a machinist's square on the bed
against the blade and the vise. The square
should lie along the entire length of the vise
and blade without a gap.
2. If adjustment is necessary, loosen bolts (A,
Fig. 5) holding the vise and adjust vise so
square lines up properly. Tighten bolts.
3. You may want to perform a test cut. Cut off
the end of the stock. Make another cut so
that you have an accurate section to
measure. Measure thickness with calipers.
Adjusting Vise for Miter Cuts
Position B
1. Move the vise into the second set of
threaded holes (B, Fig. 5) by removing hex
cap bolts (A, Fig. 5).
2. When angle has been set tighten bolts.
3. Adjust
other jaw.
4. There is an angle label on the backside of
the bed. This is for reference only. Check
angles with a machinist’s protractor.
For your own safety: only use position B for
miter cuts. Vise square to the blade, in position
B would expose more of the blade, right of the
vise, than is necessary for the cut.
Positioning Vise
To position the moveable vise:
1. Pull up on the rack block (C, Fig. 5).
2. Move vise to desired location by sliding
along bed.
3. Tighten vise by turning handwheel, found at
the left end of the bed, clockwise.
4. Loosen vise by turning handwheel counter-
clockwise so you can pull up on the rack
block.
