6.4 MATERIAL CLAMPING
All work pieces must be clamped securely in the vise. Any slippage of the material can result in broken
or damaged blades.
The material should be clamped so that the contact surface between the material and the blade is as small
as possible.
For this reason, when cutting flat stock material, we recommend standing it up and cutting it through
the thinnest section, whenever possible.
If the flat stock is too wide to clamp standing up, clamp it in the vise diagonally.
We also recommend cutting square tubing through the diagonal section and angle iron with the web up.
For examples, SEE FIGURE 9 ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.
This is not always possible when cutting materials at a miter.
Some thin walled round sections and profiles will require special jaws to hold them.
Do not cut pieces that are too short to extend into both sides of the vise jaws.
When setting up the saw to miter cut, pull the head down before making the first cut, to make sure that
the blade clears the vise jaws.
The jaws have slotted mounting holes and can be adjusted for various miters.
Always adjust the jaws so that they clamp the material as close to the blade as possible, whether miter or
straight cutting.
All models of the CPO-350-NF, except those fitted with the power down feed option, have a down stroke
or cutting depth adjustment. SEE FIGURE 10 ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE.
This adjustment is used to keep the saw blade from cutting into the vise spindle and must be adjusted
when changing sizes of materials or blades.
If your saw is equipped with either the power vise or the power down feed options, SEE SECTIONS 7.1
& 7.2, for additional information.
