Securing workpieces
By turning the vise handle counterclock-
wise and then flipping the vise nut to the
left, the vise is released from the shaft
threads and can be moved rapidly in and
out. To grip workpieces, push the vise
handle until the vise plate contacts the
workpiece. Flip the vise nut to the right and
then turn the vise handle clockwise to
securely retain the workpiece.
CAUTIO N :
Always set the vise nut to the right fully 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
When the cut-off wheel has worn down
considerably, use a spacer block of sturdy,
non-flammable material behind the work-
piece 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.
When cutting workpieces over 65 mm
(2-9/16") 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.
