QUICK VISE ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM
(NORTH AMERICAN MARKET ONLY)
For speed and convenience, the vise operating mechanism is
equipped with a 'split nut' . Using this enables rapid adjustment
of the front vise jaw.
• Lift the 'split nut' . (Fig. 11a)
• Slide the front jaw to the required position.
• Return the 'split nut' to its service position. (Fig 11b)
WARNING: The 'split nut' must be returned to its service position
and be fully engaged with the threads on the long vise screw.
Pulling back slightly on the vise handle just before the vise jaw
contacts the workpiece will help the correct seating of the 'split
nut. Using this machine without the 'split nut' fully engaged with
the vise screw threads is dangerous and must not be attempted.
• Tighten the vise to secure the workpiece.
• Check the security of the workpiece before attempting a cut.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARING TO MAKE A CUT

Do not overreach. Keep good footing and balance. Stand
to one side so that your face and body are out of line
of a possible kickback.
Caution: The minimum cut off piece must be 8mm (5/16") or
greater in length to avoid the piece falling through the blade
slot and causing any potential danger. (Fig 12)
WARNING: Freehand cutting is a major cause of accidents and should not be attempted.
• Ensure that the workpiece is firmly secured in the vise.
• The machine's base should be clean and free from any swarf or
sawdust etc. before the workpiece is clamped into position.
• Ensure that the 'cut-off' material is free to move sideways away
from the blade when the cut is completed. Ensure that the 'cut-off'
piece cannot become 'jammed' in any other part of the machine.
• Do not use this saw to cut small pieces. If the workpiece
being cut would cause your hand or fingers to be within
150mm of the saw blade, the workpiece is too small.
Angles should be clamped in an inverted position so that the
point of the section is uppermost. (<5.2)
