CUTTING UP TO 5" (12.7 CM) WIDE
WORkPIECES
The vise is set up at the factory for cutting
workpieces up to 5" (12.7 cm) in width. This
is the preferred set-up. If it is necessary to
cut workpieces between 5" (12.7 cm) and 7"
(17.8 cm) 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 (1) using the 8 mm hex key
supplied.
2. Move the mitre gauge (2) back
approximately 1½" (3.8 cm) until the
hole and slot in the mitre gauge line up
with the next two holes (3) 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" (17.8 cm) and 9" (22.8 cm) in width, locate the mitre gauge in the back
two holes of the chop saw base.
