Repositioning The Rear Vise Jaw; Quick Release Adjustment - Evolution Evosaw Instrucciones Originales

The swiveling front vise jaw also allows
irregular shaped workpieces to be
accommodated in the vise.
REPOSITIONING THE
REAR VISE JAW
The rear vise jaw can be removed from the
machine's base and repositioned. (Fig. 7)
Note: There are two (2) possible positions
available for the rear vise jaw because of the
incorporation of four (4) threaded holes in the
machine's base.
TO REPOSITION:
• Remove the RH socket headed screw that
secures the rear vise jaw to the machine's base
(using the 6mm hex key).
• Remove Lever Handled Locking Screw and
all washers that secure the rear vise jaw to
the machine's base.
TO REMOVE THE LEVER HANDLED
LOCKING SCREW:
• Remove the cross-headed screw that secures
the Lever Handle to the Locking Screw.
• Lift the Lever Handle off the hexagonal
Locking Screw head.
• Using a suitable spanner (not supplied)
remove the Locking Screw and its
associated washer from the machine's base.
Lift the rear vise jaw from the machine's
base. Reposition the vise jaw.
• Replace the socket headed screw into its
new service position.
• Replace the Locking Screw and its Lever
Handle into their new service positions.
Ensure that all plain and locking washers, etc.,
are replaced in their correct service positions.
Note: Repositioning the rear vise jaw to the
rearmost position will enable wider pieces of
material to be cut than is possible with the
rear vise jaw in the forward position.

QUICK RELEASE VISE
ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM
For speed and convenience, the vise operating
system fitted to this machine is equipped with
a 'quick release mechanism'. When operated,
this mechanism releases the vise operating
screw enabling it, with its attached front jaw, to
slide quickly to a new position.
Once the operating screw and front jaw
have been repositioned the quick release
mechanism should be returned to its normal
operating position. The 'sleeve nut' will re-
engage with the vise operating screw.
Note: The vise can now be tightened or
loosened in the normal way.
To operate the Quick Release
Mechanism (Q.R.M):
• Rotate the 'sleeve nut' fully anti-clockwise.
(Fig. 8a) The vise operating screw is now
'free' to slide.
• Slide the front jaw to the required position.
• Return the 'sleeve nut' to its normal service
position by rotating it fully clockwise
(through 180˚). (Fig 8b)
WARNING:
The 'sleeve nut' must be
returned to its normal service position
before the vise can be tightened. The threads
machined inside the 'sleeve nut' must be fully
engaged with the threads on the vise screw.
Note: When using the vise normally pulling
back slightly on the vise handwheel just
before the vise jaw contacts the workpiece
will help facilitate and confirm the correct
seating of the 'sleeve nut'.
WARNING:
Using this machine without
the 'sleeve nut' fully engaged with the vise
screw threads is dangerous and must not be
attempted.
Tighten the vise to secure the workpiece.
• Check the security of the workpiece before
attempting to make a cut.
