Is the blade cutting efficiently? The best way to 
determine this is to observe the chips formed by 
the cutting blade. 

If the chip formation is powdery, then the feed is 
much too light, or the blade is dull. 

If the chips formed are curled, but colored – blue 
or straw colored from heat generated during the 
cut – then the feed rate is too high. 

If the chips are slightly curled and are not 
colored by heat – the blade is sufficiently sharp 
and is cutting at its most efficient rate. 

Referring to Figure 8: 

1. Set 

the 

feed rate control knob (C) to zero. 

2. With the lifting handle (A) raise the saw 

head (B). 

3. Turn 

the 

vise handwheel (D) counterclock-

wise enough to free the moveable vise 
jaw (E). Then pull the moveable vise jaw 
away from the fixed vise jaw (H). 

4. Place the workpiece (F) on the work 

table (G). 

For long workpieces, provide support at the 
other end. If necessary, provide additional 
downward clamping to hold the workpiece 
securely on the worktable. 

5. Clamp 

the 

workpiece (F) in the vise by first 

pushing the moveable vise jaw (E) against 
the workpiece. Then rotate the vise hand-
wheel (D) clockwise to secure the work-
piece.

Referring to Figure 9, the vise can be adjusted 
through a 45-degree arc as follows: 

1. Loosen 

the 

lock handle (E) that secures the 

fixed vise jaw (D). 

2. Rotate 

the 

fixed vise jaw (D) to the desired 

angle, setting it to the scale on the back 
edge of the table.  

For accurate cuts, use a variable protractor 
to set the position of the jaw, aligning one 
side of the protractor with the blade. 

3. Tighten 

the 

lock handle (E). 

4. Loosen the hex head bolt (A) on the 

moveable vise jaw (C).  

5. Place the workpiece (B) between the vise 

jaws (C, D). 

6. Set 

the 

moveable vise jaw (C), pressing it 

against the side of the workpiece (B) and 
fixed vise jaw (D). 

7. Tighten the hex head bolt (A) on the 

moveable vise jaw to secure the jaw. 

The procedure for setting the vise for square 
cuts is identical to setting for angle cuts (above) 
except that a machinist’s square is used to set 
the angle of the fixed vise jaw (J, Fig. 10). Align 
one side of the square with the side of the slot
(G, Fig. 10) in the table.
