Vise Operation
1. Use the hand wheel (A) to open and close the vise jaw (B)
for pieces that vary in width.
a. Counter clockwise (ccw) to open jaws
b. Clockwise (cw) to close jaws
2. Use the vise release lever (Z) to quickly clamp and unclamp
pieces of the same width. The release lever is a 1/2 turn
lever, from straight up (loosen) to straight down (clamped).
a. Clockwise (cw) to clamp the piece
b. Counter clockwise (ccw) to unclamp the piece
Loading the Piece Part
1. Use the vise hand-wheel to open the jaws wider than the width of the piece.
2. Measure and mark off the length of material to be cut.
3. Place the piece on the flat surface in between the vise jaws.
4. Slide the piece through the jaws so the scribed length mark lines up with the blade or disk.
5. Push the piece up against the back vise jaw.
6. Turn the hand-wheel clockwise (cw) to clamp the piece.
If repetitive cuts are required for material of the same width:
1. Turn the vise hand-wheel clockwise (
cw
) to approach the piece part, leaving approximately
3/16” (5mm) gap between front jaw and the piece part.
2. Then use the vise lock lever to clamp and unclamp the piece.
Setting Cut Length
Setting the cut length eliminates measuring duplicate pieces.
1. Measure and mark the length of material to be cut off.
2. Load the piece part.
3. Line up the cut.
4. Clamp the piece part.
5. Loosen the hex nut at the base of the bar riser (A).
6. Slide the bar riser (A) along the long rod (B) so that the tip of
stop bar (C) touches the end of the piece part.
7. Tighten the hex nut at the base of the bar riser (A).
