Hold Down Vise
The hold down vise is used to help hold the workpiece
_nthe correct cutting position. It may be used on either
the left side of the miter saw or the right side, Before
turning the saw on make sure the hold down vise does
not interfere with the cutting action of the saw.
WARNING: The vise will help hold the
workpiece down. It will not keep the saw from
throwing pieces that twist into the blade.
To avoid this:
• Always hold the workpiece against the
fence.
• Always hold the clamped side of the work-
piece.
• Never confine the piece being cut off. Never
hold it, clamp it, touch it, or use length stops
against itwhile the blade is spinning. It must
be free to move sideways on its own. If con-
fined, it could get wedged against the
blade and thrown violently.
Slide Cutting
Plan your work to avoid the spinning blade and
keep the workpiece from binding on the blade and
flying out of your hands:
Plan how you will make the cut. Always:
• Make sure the blade is not spinning.
• Raise the blade
• Slide the saw out above the front edge of the
workpiece before starting it, and
• Push the saw blade down and away from you to
make the cut.
j DANGER: NEVER pull the saw toward you during
a cut. The blade can suddenly climb up on top of
the workpiece and force itself toward you.
Workpieces up to 12" wide and 2-1,,'2"thick can be cut
following the directions below:
a, Put wood against fence.
b. Loosen the carriage lock knob
c. Grasp the saw handle and putl the carriage until
the arbor (center of saw blade) is over the front
edge of the workpiece.
d Switch on the saw and allow to come to full
speed
