8-3. How to Use the Vise Assembly

(1) The vise assembly can be mounted on either the right
or left fence. The height of the vise can be adjusted in
three stages by aligning either the V-grooves on the
vise shaft or the bottom surface of the screw holder
with the upper surface of the fence, and fitting the tip
of the knob bolt M8 into the appropriate groove on the
vise shaft. On completion of adjustment, tighten the
knob bolt M8 to secure the vise shaft. (See Fig. 31.)
(2) After adjusting the position of the screw holder, lock it
in position by tightening the knob bolt M6.
(3) Then the knob to thoroughly clamp the workpiece.
[CAUTION] Ensure without fail the saw blade section (head) does not come in contact with the vise
assembly when it is pushed down. In the case of left bevel cutting or compound (left bevel + left miter)
cutting, attaching the vise assembly to the left-side fence allows workpieces with heights of up to 45 mm
(1-25/32") to be clamped. If the height of the workpiece exceeds 45 mm (1-25/32"), attach the vise
assembly to the fence on the opposite side from which the saw blade is tilted.
