ADJUSTING THE VISE (FIG. G)
NOTE: The vise of your saw is used
to secure the workpiece during cutting
operations.
1. Rotate the vise crank (1)
counterclockwise to allow enough
room for the workpiece to fit
between the vise clamp (2) and the
adjustable fence (3).
2. Position the workpiece between the
vise clamp and the adjustable fence.
Turn the vise crank (1) clockwise to
clamp the workpiece securely.
3. The vise incorporates a quick
release locking lever (4). To use the
quick release feature, lift up on the
quick release locking lever (4) and
slide the vise clamp in or out to the
desired position.
4. When vise clamp is in desired
location, flip the quick release
locking lever (4) down to engage
the threads with the threads of the
vise. Begin to turn the vise crank (1)
clockwise to secure the workpiece
within the vise.
ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE CUTTING DEPTH
STOP BOLT (FIG. F)
NOTE: The cutting depth was adjusted
properly at the factory. If adjustments
are needed, be careful not to adjust the
depth stop bolt too deep, as the cutting
wheel may contact the base.
1. Loosen the locknut (1) with a
13 mm wrench.
2. Turn the depth stop bolt (2) with a
13 mm wrench counterclockwise
to decrease the cutting depth or
clockwise to increase the cutting
depth.
3. Lower the cutting head to check that
the wheel does not contact the base.
4. Repeat until adjusted properly and
tighten the locknut.
NOTE:
● To maintain this adjustment, the
locknut (1) on the depth stop bolt (2)
must be tightened securely.
● The depth stop is factory set
providing maximum cutting capacity
for the 14 in. abrasive cutting wheel
provided with your chop saw. When
the diameter of the wheel has
reduced in size due to normal wear,
the depth stop bolt may require
adjustment to provide maximum
cutting capacity.
NOTE: When a replacement
wheel is installed onto the unit, it is
necessary to check the clearance
of the cutting wheel to the machine
base before operating.
