workpiece orientation). Move clamp locknut (A) Fig. 9A, forward to engage threads on clamp screw (C) Fig. 9A.

Tighten vise securely by rotating clamp handle (D) Fig. 9A, clockwise. Make sure workpiece is clamped securely

before proceeding.

WARNING: Failure to securely clamp the workpiece, as recommended above, can cause the

workpiece to be thrown violently, resulting in personnel injury or property damage.

ANGLE STOCK

Figure 10 represents the preferred clamping method. Figures 11 and 12 represent acceptable clamping methods

when required for the specific application.

required for the specific application.

MAKING THE CUT

After clamping the workpiece securely in the work vise, turn the machine ON and allow the motor to reach full

speed. Gently lower the blade to engage workpiece, then slowly increase pressure as required to produce the

least amount of “sparking”. Increase feed pressure as blade cuts through thicker cross-sections (to maintain

minimum “sparking”), and decrease feed pressure as the blade cuts through thinner cross-sections (to maintain

motor speed and avoid overloading the machine). After completing the cut, release power switch and wait for

coasting blade to stop completely, before returning saw to the raised position.

WARNING: Returning the saw to the raised position before the blade has completely stopped can

cause the workpiece to be thrown violently, resulting in personal injury or property damage.
