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 the vertical vise to the sub base or the
opposite side on the base. 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:
Always rotate the vise nut clock-
wise until the workpiece is properly secured. If
the workpiece is not properly secured, the material
may move during the cutting operation causing pos-
sible damage to the circular saw blade, causing the
material to be thrown and loss of control resulting in
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
When cutting a thin workpiece,
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 either the left or
right side of the base. When performing 22.5° or greater
miter cuts, install the horizontal vise in the side opposed
to the direction in which the turn base is to be turned.

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.
Sub base
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.
WARNING:
always be sure that the sub bases are secured by
the screws.
To hold long workpieces horizontally, sub bases are
provided on both sides of the tool. Loosen the screws
and extend the sub bases to the appropriate length for
holding the workpiece. Then tighten the screws.
