AUTOMATIC STOP
When the saw blade has completed the cut through
the material, the saw frame drops on a trigger to
which a rod is attached. This rod passes through
the frame of the machine to the switch on the oppo-
site side, and opens the contacts, thereby stopping
the saw.
It will be necessary to raise saw frame clear of the
trigger before machine can he started.
FIXED VISE JAW
The two pins in the fi xed vise jaw should be kept in
place in order to insure square cuts. When cutting
angles, these pins must be removed and the vise
jaws turned to desired position and tightened with
clamp bolts. These pins enable operators to quickly
relocate fi xed vise jaw for 90° cutting. For fi nal
adjustment, the vise jaw should be squared with
the blade.
The sliding vise jaw should be loosened and pushed
against fi xed vise jaw and then tightened.
