Vise Operation (Fig. 6)
FIG. 12
FIG. 10
The vise (A) has a quick travel feature. To release the vise when it is
clamped tightly, turn the crank (B) counterclockwise one or two times
to remove clamping pressure. Lift vise lever (C). Pull crank assembly
out as far as desired. Vise may be shoved into work without cranking.
Lower vise lever then tighten vise on work by using crank.
Fence Operation (Fig. 6)
The fence (D) requires no wrenches to operate. The quick release
clamp lever (E) unlocks and locks the fence. When the lever is
rotated fully forward, toward the vise, the fence is unlocked. The
A
fence can then be freely moved forward, backward or rotated to allow
for the best cutting position.
C FIG. 11
D B E
Pushing the lever fully to the rear locks the fence in position selected.
If the leg (G) of the lever is not horizontal (parallel to the base), the
G
fence is not locked. Lever will only lock fence when there is strong
resistance to rotate it backwards, which engages the cam action. If G
A
resistance is light, adjust clamping force by slightly tightening the two
bolts (F) holding the fence to the base. Test by clamping the
workpiece with the vise. Adjust as needed to assure that the fence
does not move and the workpiece is securely clamped.
Fence Angle Adjustment (Fig. 7)
To make angle cuts, unlock and rotate the fence until the desired
F
angle on the angle plate (A) lines up with the edge of the slot (B) in
the base, then re-lock the fence.
The angle plate (A) is attached to the fence by screws (E) and is
preset at the factory. If it becomes necessary to readjust the angle
plate for accuracy, perform the following steps.
1. DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY.
2. Unlock the fence and lock the arm in the down position so the
