Horizontal vise (optional accessory)

009606
The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base.
005232
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 flipping the vise nut counterclockwise, 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 clockwise.
Then turn the vise knob clockwise to secure the
workpiece.
The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured
by the horizontal vise is 215 mm.
WARNING:
Always rotate the vise nut clockwise until the
•
workpiece is properly secured. If the workpiece
is not properly secured the material may move
during the cutting operation causing possible
damage to the blade, causing the material to be
thrown and loss of control resulting in serious
personal injury.
When cutting a thin workpiece, such as base
•
boards, against the fence, always use the
horizontal vise.

Holders (Optional accessory)

009607
The holders can be installed on either side as a
convenient means of holding workpieces horizontally.
Slip the holder rods into the holes in the base and adjust
their length according to the workpiece to be held. Then
tighten the holders securely with the screws.
WARNING:
Always support a long workpiece so it is level
•
with the top surface of the turn base for an
accurate cut and to prevent dangerous loss of
tool control. Proper workpiece support will help
avoid blade pinch and possible kickback which may
result in serious personal injury.

OPERATION

NOTICE:
Before use, be sure to release the handle from the
•
lowered position by pulling the stopper pin.
Do not apply excessive pressure on the handle
•
when cutting. Too much force may result in
overload of the motor and/or decreased cutting
efficiency. Push down handle with only as much
force as is necessary for smooth cutting and
without significant decrease in blade speed.
Gently press down the handle to perform the cut. If
•
the handle is pressed down with force or if lateral
force is applied, the blade will vibrate and leave a
mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the precision
of the cut will be impaired.
During a slide cut, gently push the carriage toward
•
the guide fence without stopping. If the carriage
movement is stopped during the cut, a mark will be
left in the workpiece and the precision of the cut will
be impaired.
WARNING:
Make sure the blade is not contacting the
•
workpiece, etc. before the switch is turned on.
Turning the tool on with the blade in contact with the
workpiece may result in kickback and serious
personal injury.
