When performing 15° or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the
side opposite the direction in which the turn base is to be turned. By turning
the vise knob counterclockwise, the screw is released and the vise shaft can
be moved rapidly in and out. By turning the vise knob clockwise, the screw
remains secured. To grip the workpiece, turn the vise knob gently clockwise
until the projection reaches its topmost position, then fasten securely. If the
vise knob is forced in or pulled out while being turned clockwise, the projection
may stop at an angle. In this case, turn the vise knob back counterclockwise
until the screw is released, before turning again gently clockwise.
The maximum width of the workpiece which can be secured by the horizontal
vise is 130 mm.
CAUTION:
• Grip the workpiece only when the projection is at the topmost position.
Failure to do so may result in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This
could cause the workpiece to be thrown, cause damage to the blade or
cause the loss of control, which can result in PERSONAL INJURY.
Holders and holder assembly (optional accessories)
002247
The holders and the holder assembly can be installed on either side as a con-
venient means of supporting workpieces horizontally. Install them as shown in
the figure. Then tighten the screws firmly to secure the holders and the holder
assembly.
When cutting long workpieces, use the holder-rod assembly (optional acces-
002246
sory). It consists of two holder assemblies and two rods 12.
CAUTION:
• Always support long workpieces level with the top surface of the turn
base for accurate cuts and to prevent dangerous loss of control of the
tool.
