(12.7-17.8 cm) WIDE
WORKPIECES
The vise is set up at the factory for
cutting workpieces up to 5
"
(12.7 cm) in
width. This is the preferred set-up. If it is
necessary to cut workpieces between
5
"-
7
"
(12.7-17.8 cm) in width, the mitre
gauge will have to be relocated on the
chop saw base.
1. Remove the front and rear mitre
gauge cap screws (1) using the 17 mm
wrench supplied.
2. Move the mitre gauge (2) back
approximately 1½
"
(3.81 cm) until the
hole and slot in the mitre gauge line
up with the next two holes (3) in the
chop saw base.
3. Reinstall and tighten the mitre gauge
cap screws in the two new holes (4).
OPERATING THE VISE QUICK-
RELEASE
The vise has a quick-release feature that
allows for making major adjustments
much quicker.
1. To operate the quick-release system,
turn the vise adjustment handle (1)
counter-clockwise two or three turns
to loosen the vise jaws.
2. Lift upward on the front of the quick-
release nut (2) to release the vise
screw (3).
3. While holding the quick-release nut
upward in the released position, pull
the vise adjustment handle toward
you to quickly open the vise.
4. To quickly close the vise, release the
quick-release nut and push the crank
away from you.
5. Use the crank to completely tighten
the vise on the workpiece.
ON/OFF SWITCH
To turn the chop saw On, squeeze the
switch trigger (1) until the chop saw
starts. To turn the chop saw Off, release
the switch trigger.
REPLACING THE CUT-OFF DISC
The cut-off disc must be replaced when it
has become damaged in any way or it has
worn down to a diameter of less than
10
"
(25.4 cm).
NOTE:
To cut workpieces between 7-9
"
(17.8-22.9 cm) in width, locate the mitre gauge in
the back two holes (4) in the chop saw base.
WARNING!
Always make sure the workpiece is flat
against the chop saw base and securely
held in the vise before turning the saw On.
WARNING!
Always make sure the cut-off blade is NOT
touching the workpiece when the switch is
being turned On. Let the motor come to full
speed before beginning to cut.
WARNING!
Disconnect your chop saw from the power
source before attempting to change the
cut-off blade.
