Horizontal vise Optional accessory 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. WARNING: When cutting a thin workpiece, such as base boards, against the fence, always use the horizontal vise. CAUTION: When cutting the workpiece of the thickness 20 mm (13/16″) or thinner, make sure to use a spacer block to secure the workpiece. The horizontal vise can be installed in two positions on either the left or right side of the base. When performing 22.5° or greater miter cuts, install the horizontal vise on the side opposite the direction in which the turn base is to be turned. 2 1 ► 1 . Holder 2. Screw OPERATION 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. WARNING: After a cutting operation, do not raise the blade until it has come to a complete stop. The raising of a coasting blade may result in serious personal injury and damage to the workpiece. WARNING: Do not perform any adjustment such as turning grip, knob, and levers on the tool while the blade is rotating. Adjustment while the blade is rotating may result in serious personal injury. 1 2 3 ► 1 . Vise plate 2. Vise nut 3. Vise knob 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. NOTE: The maximum width of workpiece which can be secured by the horizontal vise is 228 mm (9″). Holders 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. NOTICE: Before use, be sure to unlock the stopper pin and release the handle from the lowered position. NOTICE: 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. Press down handle with only as much force as necessary for smooth cutting and without significant decrease in blade speed. NOTICE: 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 may vibrate and leave a mark (saw mark) in the workpiece and the precision of the cut may be impaired. NOTICE: 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. To hold long workpieces horizontally, holders are provided on both sides of the tool. Loosen the screws and extend the holders to the appropriate length for holding the workpiece. Then tighten the screws. 19 ENGLISH
