Securing workpiece
WARNING:
• It is extremely important to always secure the
workpiece properly and tightly with the vise.
Failure to do so can cause the tool to be dam-
aged and/or the workpiece to be destroyed.
PERSONAL INJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also,
after a cutting operation, DO NOT raise the
blade until the blade has come to a complete
stop.
CAUTION:
• When cutting long workpieces, use supports
that are as high as the top surface level of the
turn base. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise
and/or horizontal vise to secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece
over its entire length to avoid blade pinch and
possible KICKBACK.

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 assem-
bly 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 oppo-
site 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.
