3. Rotate the mitre gauge to the left or right until the desired
cutting angle lines up with the alignment mark.
4. Tighten both the mitre gauge cap screws to lock the mitre
gauge in place.
NOTE: Always make a test cut on a scrap workpiece to
verify the mitre angle setting.
CUTTING UP TO 5" WIDE WORKPIECES
The vise is set up at the factory for cutting workpieces up to
5" in width. This is the preferred set-up. If it is necessary to
cut workpieces between 5" and 7" in width, the mitre gauge
will have to be relocated on the chop saw base.
1. Remove the front and rear mitre gauge cap screws using
the 8 mm hex key supplied. (Figure 7)

2. Move the mitre gauge back approximately 1-1/2" until the
hole and slot in the mitre gauge line up with the next two
holes in the chop saw base.
3. Reinstall and tighten the mitre gauge cap screws in the
two new holes.
NOTE: To cut workpieces between 7" and 9" in width, locate
the mitre gauge in the back two holes in the chop saw base.
OPERATING THE VISE QUICK RELEASE
The vise has a quick release feature that allows for making
major adjustments much quicker.
