FUNCTIONING After correctly blocking the piece to be cut in the vice, start the machine and let the motor run at its maximum speed. Slowly lower the disc (A), until it comes into contact with the piece to be cut (B). Exert a constant pressure on the disc to avoid any skipping that could make the disc oval and thus compromise cutting quality and also break the disc.
REPLACEMENT OF THE DISC (Fig.9) CAUTION: Switch off the cut-off saw and disconnect it from the current, by removing the plug from the socket before any adjustment, repair, maintenance work, cleansing and before replacing the disc. DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SUPPLY. On the exterior of the fixed protective cap, loosen the screw that fix the circular cover in the central area of the disc, in order to access to the disc lock crew.
