CAUTION:
When performing left bevel cuts, flip the fence over to the
left position as shown in the figure. Otherwise, it will
contact the blade or a part of the tool, causing possible
serious injury to the operator.
Vertical vise
The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on either
the left or right side of the guide fence or the holder assembly
(optional accessory). Insert the vise rod into the hole in the
guide fence or the holder assembly and tighten the screw to
secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and shape
of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by tightening the
screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm contacts the guide
fence, install the screw on the opposite side of vise arm.
Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the vise when
lowering the handle all the way. If some part contacts the
vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the turn
base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting position
and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
CAUTION:
The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn
base and guide fence with the vise during all operations.
Horizontal vise (optional accessory)
The horizontal vise can be installed on either the left or right
side of the base. When performing 15° or greater miter cuts,
install the horizontal vise on the side opposite the direction in
which the turn base is to be turned. 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,
