• When cutting long workpieces, use supports that are as high as the top
surface level of the turn base. Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/
or horizontal vise to secure the workpiece.
Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece over its entire length to
avoid blade pinch and possible KICKBACK.
Sub-fence
001766
This tool is equipped with the sub-fence. It should be positioned as shown in
the figure.
001767
CAUTION:
• When performing left bevel cuts, flip the fence over to the left position as
shown in the figure. Otherwise, it will contact the blade or a part of the
tool, causing possible serious injury to the operator.
Vertical vise
001796

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side
of the guide fence or the holder assembly (optional accessory). Insert the vise
rod into the hole in the guide fence or the holder assembly and tighten the
screw 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
7
handle 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 position and secure it firmly by tightening
the vise knob.
CAUTION:
• The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turn base and guide
fence with the vise during all operations.
