Securing workpiece
WARNING:
It is extremely important to always
secure the workpiece correctly with the proper
type of vise. Failure to do so may result in serious
personal injury and cause damage to the tool and/or
the workpiece.
WARNING:
When cutting a workpiece that
is longer than the support base of the saw, sup-
port the entire length of the material beyond the
support base and at the same height to keep the
material level. Proper workpiece support helps to
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury. Do not rely solely on
the vertical vise and/or horizontal vise to secure the
workpiece. Thin material tends to sag. Support work-
piece over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.

Vertical vise
WARNING:
Secure the workpiece firmly against the
turn base and guide fence with the vise during all opera-
tions. Otherwise the material may move during the cutting oper-
ation, cause damage to the circular saw blade, and be thrown
which may result in loss of control and serious personal injury.
Install the vertical vise on either the left or right side of the
guide fence. Insert the vise rod into the hole in the guide
fence and tighten the lower screw to secure the vise rod.

Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the upper screw. If the upper screw contacts
the guide fence, install the upper screw on the opposite
side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the tool
contacts the vise when lowering the carriage fully and
pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If a movable
part of the tool contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Place the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
The vertical vise can secure a workpiece up to 55 mm high. If
the height of workpiece exceeds 30 mm, lift the vise rod approxi-
mately 30 mm and then tighten the vise rod with lower screw.
