Failureto do so can cause the tool to be damaged and/orthe workpiece to be destroyed. PERSONALINJURY MAY ALSO RESULT. Also, after a cuttingoperation, DO NOT raise the blade until the bladehas come to a complete stop.CAUTION:• When cutting long workpieces, use supports thatare as high as the top surface level of the turn base.Do not rely solely on the vertical vise and/orhorizontal vise to secure the workpiece.Thin material tends to sag. Support workpiece overits entire length to avoid blade pinch and possibleKICKBACK.Fig.32Fence adjustmentWARNING:• Before operating the tool, make sure that the upperand lower fences are secured firmly.• Before bevel-cutting, make sure that no part of thetool contacts the upper and lower fences whenlowering the handle fully and pulling or pushing thecarriage all the way.Fig.33Fig.34Sliding the fences to inside by loosening the clampingscrew only before miter-cutting allows support ofworkpiece close to the saw blade.Fig.35To adjust the fences before bevel-cutting, loosen a leverand slide the upper fence outward. Make a dry run withthe saw turned off and check clearance.Adjust the fence to be as close to the blade as practicalto provide maximum workpiece support, withoutinterfering with arm up and down movement. Tightenlever securely. When the bevel operations are complete,don't forget to relocate the fence.NOTE:• For easy tightening/loosening, the position of thelever can be changed according to your need bypulling it up.Vertical viseFig.36The vertical vise can be installed in two positions oneither the left or right side of the base. Insert the vise rodinto the hole in the base.Position the vise arm according to the thickness andshape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm bytightening the screw. If the screw to secure the vise armcontacts the carriage, install the screw on the oppositeside of vise arm. Make sure that no part of the toolcontacts the vise when lowering the handle fully andpulling or pushing the carriage all the way. If some partcontacts the vise, re-position the vise.Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and theturn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cuttingposition and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.Turning the vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows thevise knob to be moved up and down, facilitating thequick setting of workpiece. To secure the workpiece aftersetting, turn it the vise knob clockwise.CAUTION:• The workpiece must be secured firmly against the turnbase and guide fence with the vise during all operations.Horizontal vise (optional accessory)Fig.37The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions oneither the left or right side of the base. When performing15° or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise onthe side opposite the direction in which the turn base isto be turned.Fig.38By 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 contactsthe workpiece and flip the vise nut to the right. Then turnthe vise knob clockwise to secure the workpiece.The maximum width of workpiece which can be securedby the horizontal vise is 215 mm.CAUTION:• Always rotate the vise nut to the right fully whensecuring the workpiece. Failure to do so may resultin insufficient securing of the workpiece. This couldcause the workpiece to be thrown, cause damageto the blade or cause the loss of control, which canresult in PERSONAL INJURY.• When cutting out thin workpiece, such as baseboards, against the fence, always use thehorizontal vise.Holders (Optional accessory)Fig.39The holders can be installed on either side as aconvenient means of holding workpieces horizontally.Slip the holder rods into the holes in the base and adjusttheir length according to the workpiece to be held. Thentighten the holders securely with the screws.CAUTION:• Always support long workpieces level with the topsurface of the turn base for accurate cuts and toprevent dangerous loss of control of the tool.
