Setting for desired cutting angle
To change the cutting angle, loosen the
two hex bolts which secure the guide
plate. Move the guide plate to the desired
angle (0" - 45") and tighten the hex bolts
securely.
CAUTION:

Never perform miter cuts when the guide plate is set at the 35 - 205 mm
(1-3/8"
-
8-1/16") or 70 - 240 mm (2-3/4" - 9-7/16") position
Securing workpieces
By turning the vise handle counterclock-
wise and then flipping the vise nut to the
left, the vise is released from the shaft
threads and can be moved rapidly in and
out. To grip workpieces, push the vise
handle until the vise plate contacts the
workpiece. Flip the vise nut to the right and
then turn the vise handle clockwise to
securely retain the workpiece.
CAUTION:
Always set 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
ejected or cause a dangerous breakage of the wheel.
When the cut-off wheel has worn down
considerably, use
a
spacer block
of
sturdy,
non-flammable material behind the work-
piece as shown in the figure. You can more
efficiently utilize the worn wheel by using
the mid point on the periphery of the wheel
to cut the workpiece.
