CAUTION:
•
When cutting long workpieces, use supports that are as high as the top
surface level of the turn base. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/
or horizontal vise to secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece over its entire length to
avoid blade pinch and possible KICKBACK.
Vertical vise
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side
of the guide fence or the holder assembly (optional accessory). Insert the vise
rod into the hole in the guide fence or the holder assembly and tighten the
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 screw. If the screw to secure the vise
arm contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the opposite side of vise
arm. Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the vise when lowering the
handle fully and pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part con-
tacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press 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 maximum thickness of the workpiece which can be secured by the vertical
vise is 60 mm.
CAUTION:
•
The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn base and guide
fence with the vise during all operations.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
The horizontal vise can be installed on the left side of the base. By turning the
vise knob counterclockwise, the screw is released and the vise shaft can be
moved rapidly in and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw
remains secured. To grip the workpiece, turn the vise knob gently clockwise
until the projection reaches its topmost position, then fasten securely. If the
vise knob is forced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise, the projection
may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the vise knob back counterclockwise
until the screw is released, before turning again gently clockwise.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be secured by the horizontal
vise is 120 mm.
CAUTION:
•
Grip the workpiece only when the projection is at the topmost position.
Failure to do so may result in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This
could cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause damage to the blade or
cause the loss of control, which can result in PERSONAL INJURY.
