For more accurate square cuts, disconnect the power supply,
loosen the two fence bolts, push arm down until wheel extends into
base. Place a square against the wheel and adjust fence against
the square. Securely tighten both fence bolts before use.
When making a miter cut, the vise (F) may not clamp securely,
depending on the thickness of the workpiece and the miter angle.
Other aids (such as spring, bar or C-clamps) will be necessary to
secure the workpiece to the fence when making these cuts.
