6. Turn the vise handwheel clockwise until the work
piece is securely clamped in the vise.

Cutting procedure .
Note: If the work piece material is long, support
both the ends of the material as needed to keep
the material level on the saw base.
3. Open the left vise by turning the vise handwheel
counterclockwise.
4. Adjust the vise jaws for the appropriate cutting
angle, if required. See sections on
Right angle
cutting and Angle cutting .
5. Put the work piece material between the vise
jaws.
Note: Use the handle on the arm to lift the
arm. Never use any other part of the arm
as a lifting method.
Clamping materials in the saw vise
Refer to Figure 1 .
1. Lift the saw arm to its full up position.
2. Lock the arm up using the hydraulic feed control

Right angle cutting
Refer to Figures 1 and 2 .
If you want to be certain the workpiece is
being held in the vise at exactly 90 degrees to the
blade for cutoff work, use the following procedure to
check the blade-to-jaw angle.
1. Disconnect the saw from its electric power
source.
2. With the saw arm in its fully lowered position,
place a machinist's square,or a machinist's protrac-
tor 90 degrees, against the saw blade and right vise
jaw. If the jaw is square to the blade, then no
adjustment is required.
3. If adjustment is required, see
Angle Cutting . The
procedure for setting the jaw angle with respect to
the blade is described in that section.
