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 in two positions 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 flipping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released, and
rapidly moves in and out. To grip the workpiece, push the
vise knob forward until the vise plate contacts the workpiece
and flip the vise nut to the right. Then turn the vise knob
clockwise to secure the workpiece.
The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured by
the horizontal vise is 200 mm (7 - 7/8”).
CAUTION:
• Always rotate the vise nut to the right fully when securing
the workpiece. 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.

(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.
