An accidental start-up can cause injury.

WARNING: Edge cutting can be performed only
with wheels that are designed and specified for this
purpose. Protect yourself during edge cutting by
directing the open side of the guard toward a surface.

WARNING: Wheels used for cutting may break or kick
back if they bend or twist while the tool is being used
to do cut-off work.

WARNING: Do not use edge cutting wheels for
surface grinding applications because these wheels
are not designed for side pressures encountered
with surface grinding. Wheel breakage and injury
may result.
The depth of cut can be adjusted by loosening the two
depth adjustment wing nuts
to change the position of the shoe. Using the slot in the
wrench (provided) securely tighten the wing nuts.
To Cut Metals and Thin Materials
When cutting metals and other thin materials, adjust shoe
for maximum depth of cut as shown in Figure F.
To Cut Stone or Masonry Materials
Set the wheel exposure to about 1/2" (13 mm) beyond the
shoe. For many applications, the material will readily break
along the 1/2" (13 mm) deep scored line. If a deeper cut
is needed, increase the depth of cut in approximately 1/2"
(13 mm) increments between cuts (Figure G).
To Operate (Fig. B)

CAUTION: Before attempting to start, grasp tool

angles, plate, etc.
nOTE: The cutting of materials heavier than those listed
above are not recommended due to the possibility of
electrical overloading.
