bar, allowing the front plate to be moved to clamp or
unclamp the material. Pushing the release handle forward
presses the slide bar forward slightly, locking the slide
bar.
8. Figure 11 shows an optional clamping procedure to use
when working with large diameter pieces. Use the vise
plates to support and align the workpiece. Then use the
ratchet straps (L, Fig. 11) hooked on the edge of the
table to secure the workpiece and prevent unintended
movement.

and is not normally adjusted.
4. The forward stop (Q, Fig. 14) should be adjusted about
1/8" - 1/4" past the point where the blade exits a cut.
