• SECURE THE WORKPIECE. Use clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece on the table and against the fence or when your hand will be dangerously close to the blade (within 6"). It is safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool. • DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Loss of balance may cause personal injury. • MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Electrical Connection • When starting the tool with a new or replacement wheel or if you are unsure of the condition of the wheel, hold the tool in a well protected area and let it run for one minute. If the wheel has an undetected crack or flaw, it should burst in less than one minute. Never start the tool with a person in line with the wheel. This includes the operator. • In operation, avoid bouncing the wheel or giving it rough treatment.

Do not allow cordset to come into contact with deflector or sparks as damage to cordset may occur. Vise Operation (Fig. 4) Workpiece Shape: 90° Cutting Angle A = 130 mm (5") AxB 115 mm x 130 mm (4.
When making a miter cut, the vise (F) may not clamp securely, depending on the thickness of the workpiece and the miter angle.

TO CHANGE SPACING BETWEEN THE FENCE AND VISE Using the wrench provided, loosen and remove the two fence bolts (Q). Adjust the fence (E) to desired locations. Insert both fence bolts in provided locations. Securely tighten both fence bolts before use. FIG.
