USING THE VISE & FENCE SYSTEM
WARNING: The vise must always be used
w i t h o u t e x c e p t i o n . I f t h e v i s e c a n n o t
a d e q u a t e l y c l a m p t h e w o r k p i e c e i n
question, then do not use this machine to
cut it. Cutting without the vise can easily
lead to kickback and other hazardous
situations.
Always clamp the workpiece in the most
stable position possible. Ensure that the
b l a d e e n g a g e s t h e w o r k p i e c e i n t h e
quadrant behind the center line of the
arbor.
The fence swivels to create miter cuts up to
45 degrees and the vise plate swivels freely
to match the angle of the fence.
To adjust the fence to create miter cuts:
Loosen the miter lock lever by turning
1.
counterclockwise. Press with the thumb
while pulling up against the spring
tension to ratchet the lever.
Rotate the fence to the desired angle
2.
and retighten firmly. There are preset
detents for popular angles, but any
angle between 0 and 45 degrees can
be used. See Fig.4.
Note: Cutting 45 degree miters may shift the
workpiece forward so far that the blade will
not be able to cut fully through the material.
In this case, use a spacer of at least 31mm
thickness against the fence to bring the
workpiece fully into the range of the blade
arc. (The optional V-Jig Block may also be
used for this purpose).

Using the optional V-Jig Block
The V-Jig Block has several purposes:
Holding square-section tubing in a tilted
1.
position so that the blade can more
e a s i l y b e g i n a n d f i n i s h t h e c u t .
Otherwise the blade has difficulty
"biting" into the broad, flat face of the
workpiece. See Fig.5.
