To use the crank cross feed index wheel, simply clamp and
secure the cutting material into the vise by using the clamp
screw to tighten the vise and turn the wheel crank until the
desired slab thickness is achieved. You can measure the
slab thickness with a ruler prior to cutting, but remember,
depending on blade thickness, the amount of waste material
from the rock specimen will vary. Always allow the rock cut to
go to completion before opening the hood of the saw. Do not
over crank the vise to the far left or right position on the
carriage.

Highland Precision Slab Saws are designed for operation with an adjustable clamping vise and self-feeding
carriage mount. The clutch engagement/disengagement lever should be positioned in the straight upward (12
o'clock) position to disengage the clutch and allow the carriage to move freely along the rails. To engage the
clutch, simply turn the lever in the downward (3 or 9 o'clock) position to securely engage the bronze shoe and
block with the stainless steel thread. Should the carriage not move freely on the rails, clean the rails with a
clean rag and place a liberal amount of wheel bearing grease on all surfaces of the steel rails to assist in the
free movement of the carriage.
