Securing workpiece

CAUTION:
Always place the thread holder on
the shaft threads 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.
While the thread holder is lifted, the vise plate can be
moved in and out quickly. To grip a workpiece, push the
handle until the vise plate contacts the workpiece then
return the thread holder. Turn the handle clockwise until
the workpiece is securely retained.

When the cut-off wheel has worn down considerably,
place a spacer block behind the workpiece 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. Use a sturdy and non-flam-
mable material for a spacer block.

When cutting workpieces over 85 mm (3-3/8") wide at
an angle, attach a straight piece of wood (spacer) over
190 mm (7-1/2") long x 45 mm (1-3/4") wide to the guide
plate as shown in the figure. Attach this spacer with
screws through the holes in the guide plate. Make sure
that the cut-off wheel does not contact the spacer when
the tool head is depressed.

When the cut-off wheel has worn down, raise the cutting
position by putting a spacer block which is slightly nar-
rower than the workpiece as shown in the figure. This
will help you to utilize the wheel economically.

Long workpieces must be supported by blocks on
either side so that it will be level with the base top. Use
non-flammable material for supporting blocks.
