FEATURES
KNOW YOUR ABRASIVE CUT-OFF MACHINE
(Fig. 1-2)
Before attempting to use your machine, familarise yourself
with all operating features and safety requirements.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your machine to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
MOTOR
This machine has a strong motor with sufficient power to
handle tough cutting jobs. It also has externally accessible
brushes for ease of servicing.
POWER CORD
The power cord is H07RN-F type 1.5mm
3m, earthing but not fuse.
ABRASIVE WHEEL
A 356mm (14") abrasive wheel (2) is included with your cut-
off machine. It will cut materials up to 127mm (5") thick or
203mm (8") wide, depending upon the thickness or width
of the material and the setting at which the cut is being made.
SELF-RETRACTING LOWER WHEEL GUARD
The lower wheel guard provides protection from each side of
the wheel. It retracts over the upper wheel guard (13)
as the wheel is lowered into the workpiece.
VISE CLAMP
A vise clamp has been provided with your cut-off machine.
It is located on the end of the vise screw and provides greater
control by clamping the workpiece to the fence. It also
prevents the workpiece from creeping toward the wheel
during a cutting operation.
ADJUSTABLE FENCE
The fence on your cut-off machine has been provided to
support the workpiece and provide clamping support to
the vise for holding your workpiece securely when making
all cuts. It is an adjustable fence (3) that has been provided to
make your cut-off machine more versatile. It adjusts from
0º to 45º to the right for making angled cuts. The hole
pattern allows it to be moved forward when making cuts in
tall or thick stock, such as square stock or tube stock. The
hole pattern allows it to be moved back when making cuts
in stock that is thin or wide, such as angle stock.
QUICK LOCK-RELEASE LEVER
A lock lever (4) has been provided on your cut-off machine
This feature allows you to open and close the vise
clamp quickly without repetitive turning of the vise crank handle (16).

CARRYING HANDLE

For convenience when carrying or transporting your cut-off
machine from one place to another, a carrying handle (23) has
been provided on top of the machine arm (11).
To transport, turn off and unplug your machine, then lower
machine arm (11) and lock it in the down position. Use the
stopper knob (9) to lock machine arm in the down position.
SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON (Fig. 3)
A spindle lock button (21) has been provided for locking the
spindle which keeps the wheel in your machine from rotating.
Before using the lock button to secure the blade, ensure to
pull up the lower guard first
Depress and hold the spindle lock button while installing,
changing, or removing wheel only.
ADJUSTMENTS

size with length
To prevent accidental starting that could cause possible
serious personal injury, assemble all parts to your cut-off
machine before connecting it to power supply. Machine
should never be connected to power supply when you
are assembling parts, making adjustments, installing or
removing wheels, or when not in use.
As mentioned previously your cut-off machine has been
factory assembled and adjusted. After extended use and
wear, the wheel will need to be replaced with a new one.
A 14 in. (356 mm) wheel is the maximum wheel capacity
of your cut-off machine. Never use a wheel that is too
thick to allow outer flange to engage with the flats on the
spindle. Larger wheels will come in contact with the wheel
guards, while thicker wheels will prevent the bolt from
securing the wheel on the spindle. Either of these
situations could result in a serious accident and can cause
serious personal injury.
