6.4 MATERIAL CLAMPING
All work pieces must be clamped securely in the vise. Any slippage of the material can result in broken
or damaged blades. The material should be clamped so that the contact surface between the material and
the blade is as small as possible. For this reason, when cutting flat stock material, we recommend
standing it up and cutting it through the thinnest section, whenever possible.
If the flat stock is too wide to clamp standing up, clamp it in the vise diagonally. We also recommend
cutting square tubing through the diagonal section and angle iron with the web up. For examples, SEE
FIGURE 8 ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE. This is not always possible when cutting materials at a
miter. Some thin walled round sections and profiles will require special jaws to hold them. When
trimming or cutting very short pieces that do not extend into both sides of the vise, place a piece of
material the same size in the unused side of the vise, to insure uniform clamping. When setting up the saw
to miter cut, pull the head down before making the first cut, to make sure that the blade clears the vise
jaws. The steel jaws have slotted mounting holes and can be adjusted for various miters. Always adjust
the steel jaws so that they clamp the material as close to the blade as possible, whether miter or straight
cutting. All models of the CPO-350 VS, except those fitted with the power down feed option, have a down
stroke or cutting depth adjustment. SEE FIGURE 9 ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE. This adjustment
is used to keep the saw blade from cutting into the vise spindle and must be adjusted when changing sizes
of materials or blades. If your saw is equipped with either the power vise or the power down feed options,
SEE SECTIONS 7.1 THRU 7.2, for additional information.
