of the tool, causing possible serious injury to the
operator.
This tool is equipped with the sliding fence which should
ordinarily be positioned as shown in the figure.
However, when performing left bevel cuts, set it to the
left position as shown in the figure if the tool head
contacts it.

The vertical vise can be installed on either the left or right
side of the guide fence. Insert the vise rod into the hole in
the guide fence and tighten the screw on the back of the
guide fence to secure the vise rod.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise arm
contacts the guide fence, install the screw on the
opposite side of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the
tool contacts the vise when lowering the handle fully and
pulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some part
contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
