12.5 OPERATING VISE
The workpiece is placed between the vise jaws with the
required amount to be cut-off extending out past the blade.
To position the moveable vise jaw (B) instantly, simply turn
vise handknob (A) Fig. 10, counterclockwise 1/2 turn and
move the vise jaw (B) to the desired position.
Then tighten vise by turning the knob (A) clockwise.
The vise can be adjusted to cut any angle from 0° to 45°
by loosening the two bolts (C) Fig, 10, on each vise jaw.
Position the vise jaws to the desired angle and tighten the
bolts. It is also necessary, when angle cutting, to move
the right hand vise jaw (D) to the left until the workpiece
and right hand vise jaw clears the right hand guide arm.
12.5.1 HYDRAULIC VISE
The 1018VMH is equipped with a hydraulic vise. This
feature allows the operator to make repeated cuts much
quicker than saws with manual vise.
To use the hydraulic vise, load material as normal and
manually advance the mobile vise jaw against the work
piece then use the vise close and open fuctions located on
the control panel.
