Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
The horizontal vise can be installed on the left side of the
base. By turning the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw
is released and the vise shaft can be moved rapidly in and
out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw remains
secured. To grip the workpiece, turn the vise knob gently
clockwise until the projection reaches its topmost position,
then fasten securely. If the vise knob is forced in or pulled out
while being turned clockwise, the projection may stop at an
angle. In this case, turn the vise knob back counterclockwise
until the screw is released, before turning again gently clock-
wise.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be secured
by the horizontal vise is 120 mm (4 - 3/4).
CAUTION:
Grip the workpiece only when the projection is at the
topmost position. Failure to do so may result in
insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could cause
the workpiece to be thrown, cause damage to the blade
or cause the loss of control, which can result in
PERSONAL INJURY.
Holders and holder assembly
(optional accessories)
The holders and the holder assembly can be installed on
either side as a convenient means of supporting workpieces
horizontally. Install them as shown in the figure. Then tighten
the screws firmly to secure the holders and the holder
assembly.
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod assembly
(optional accessory). It consists of two holder assemblies
and two rods 12.
CAUTION:
Always support long workpieces level with the top
surface of the turn base for accurate cuts and to prevent
dangerous loss of control of the tool.
