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 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.

By flipping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released, and rapidly
moves in and out. To grip the workpiece, push the vise knob forward
until the vise plate contacts the workpiece and flip the vise nut to the

CAUTION:
• Always rotate the vise nut to the right fully when
securing the workpiece. Failure to do so may

cause damage to the blade or cause the loss
of control, which can result in PERSONAL
INJURY.
