SLAB SAWING MODE
At this point, the clutch should be engaged by turning the knob clockwise (Fig. 12). The hood may be placed
over the table to contain spray and misting. Slabbing of material can now be initiated by engaging the power
feed and blade by moving the toggle switch to the RIGHT/ENGAGED FEED position (Fig. 13). The rock vise
and material will move forward into the blade and the slab will be cut from the vised material. The vise will
proceed to move along the power feed rail until the automatic feed shut-off rod is engage by the powerfeed box
contact switch. Once the shut-off-rod encounters contact, the powerfeed box will shut off by contact with the
switch. Before pulling the vise back, move the power toggle switch to the MIDDLE/OFF position (Fig. 14).
The shut-off rod can be adjusted to any position along the length of the 1/4" rod by loosening the knob on the
carriage (Fig. 19) and sliding the rod to the desired position (Fig. 20) and retightening adjustment knob. After
the slab has been cut and the power feed is shut down automatically, the user can reposition the rock vise to
the next position in front of the blade. Move the power toggle switch to the MIDDLE/OFF position. Adjust the
vise to begin the next slab cut by disengaging the clutch and sliding the rock vise to a position in front of the
blade again. Once the clutch is reengaged by turning the knob clockwise, the next slab can be cut.
Position the plastic splash hood onto the table (Fig. 21) so that spray from the cutting fluid (oil or water) dur-
ing sawing will be contained and drain back into the reservoir. Excess cutting fluid that builds up on the table
during slab or trim sawing will drain back into the reservoir through the blade slot and drain hole adjacent to the
slot. Rock chips and debris from sawing should be removed from the table area periodically to prevent interfer-
ing with free movement of the vise over the table during automatic or manual feeding.

the motor and blade will restart.
