Guide fences
WARNING:
Before operating the tool, make
sure that the upper fence is secured firmly.
WARNING:
Before bevel-cutting, make sure
that no part of the tool, especially the blade, con-
tacts the upper and lower fences when fully low-
ering and raising the handle in any position and
while moving the carriage through its full range
of travel. If the tool or blade makes contact with
the fence this may result in kickback or unexpected
movement of the material and serious personal injury.
Use upper fences to support the material higher than
the lower fences. Insert the upper fence into the hole on
the lower fence and tighten the clamping screw.

the factory. Do not remove the lower fences.
NOTICE:
If the upper fence is still loose after tight-
ening the clamping screw, turn the adjusting screw to
close a gap. The adjusting screw is factory adjusted.
You don't need to use it unless needed.
You can store the upper fences onto the holder when
not in use. Use the clip on the upper fence to hold it on
the holder.

WARNING:
The workpiece must be secured
firmly against the turn base and guide fence with
the vise during all operations. If the workpiece is
not properly secured against the fence 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.

The vertical vise can be installed in two positions on
either the left or right side of the base. Insert the vise
rod into the hole in the base.
Position the vise arm according to the thickness and
shape of the workpiece and secure the vise arm by
tightening the screw. If the clamping screw contacts
the carriage, install it on the opposite side of vise arm.
Make sure that no part of the tool contacts the vise
when lowering the handle all the way. If some part
contacts the vise, re-position the vise.
Press the workpiece flat against the guide fence and the
turn base. Position the workpiece at the desired cutting
position and secure it firmly by tightening the vise knob.
NOTE: For a quick setting of workpiece, turning the
vise knob to 90° counterclockwise allows the vise
knob to be moved up and down. To secure the work-
piece after setting, turn the vise knob clockwise.
Horizontal vise
Optional accessory
WARNING:
wise 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 saw blade, causing the material to be
thrown and loss of control resulting in serious per-
sonal injury.
WARNING:
such as base boards, against the fence, always
use the horizontal vise.
CAUTION:
When cutting the workpiece of the
thickness 20 mm 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.
► Fig.46: 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 clock-
wise. 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.
Holders
WARNING:
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.
To hold long workpieces horizontally, holders are pro-
vided 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.
