Adjusting the vice

The vice can be adjusted quickly by loosening the vice lock

release lever and pushing forward.
1. Place your workpiece in

between the fence and vice.

2. Lift the vice lock release

lever to the left and push

the vice forward (fig H).

3. Once the vice hits the

workpiece move the vice

lock release lever back to

the right.

4. Rotate the vice handle in a

clockwise direction to secure

the workpiece in position

(fig I).

5. To remove an object from

the vice, rotate the vice

handle in an anti-clockwise

direction until the vice jaws

are loose. The workpiece can

now be removed, the vice lock release lever can also be

moved to the left to slide the vice back quickly.

NOTE.

The vice lock release lever cannot be lifted until the

vice jaws are loose.

Adjusting the cutting angle

1. To change the cutting angle loosen the 2 hex screws

securing the fence using the 8mm hex key supplied

(fig J).

2. Move the rear fence to the desired angle using the scale

as a guide (fig K).

3. Tighten the 2 hex bolts to secure the fence in position.

CAUTION.

Only perform mitre cuts when the fence is set

at the most forward position.

NOTE.

For accurate cuts, test the cutting angle on some

similar scrap material and adjust the angle to suit your

requirements. The scale is only a guide.

Adjusting the fence

1. The original spacing between the vice and the fence is

175mm.

2. When cutting wider materials the rear fence will need to

be adjusted to the rear position. When cutting narrow

workpieces the fence should be positioned in the most

forward position.

3. To adjust the fence loosen and remove the two hex

bolts securing the fence using the 8mm hex key

supplied (fig L).

4. Move the fence backwards or forwards to one of the

other two fixing positions (fig M).

5. Tighten the 2 hex bolts to secure the fence in

position.

CAUTION.

Narrow workpieces may not be secured safely

when using the two wider interval settings.
