ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
TOOL
1. Wear protective glasses. Also wear hearing pro-
tection during extended periods of operation.
Use only wheels recommended by the man-
2.
ufacturer which have a maximum operating
speed at least as high as "No Load RPM"
marked on the tool's nameplate. Use only
fiberglass-reinforced cut-off wheels.
3. Check the wheel carefully for cracks or dam-
age before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged wheel immediately.
4. Secure the wheel carefully.
5. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
6. Be careful not to damage the spindle, flanges
(especially the installing surface) or bolt, or
the wheel itself might break.
7. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
8. Hold the handle firmly.
9. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
10. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the
work-piece before the switch is turned on.
11. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it simply run for several minutes first.
Watch for flutter or excessive vibration that
might be caused by poor installation or a
poorly balanced wheel.
12. Watch out for flying sparks when operating. They
can cause injury or ignite combustible materials.
13. Remove material or debris from the area that
might be ignited by sparks. Be sure that others
are not in the path of the sparks. Keep a proper,
charged fire extinguisher closely available.
14. Use the cutting edge of the wheel only. Never
use side surface.
15. If the wheel stops during the operation, makes
an odd noise or begins to vibrate, switch off
the tool immediately.
16. Always switch off and wait for the wheel to
come to a complete stop before removing,
securing workpiece, working vise, changing
work position, angle or the wheel itself.
17. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it is extremely hot and could burn
your skin.
18. Store wheels in a dry location only.
19. Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear
when working in dusty conditions. If it should
become necessary to clear dust, first discon-
nect the tool from the mains supply ( use non
metallic objects ) and avoid damaging internal
parts.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

INSTALLATION

Securing cut-off
► Fig.1: 1. Base 2. Bolt holes
This tool should be bolted with two bolts to a level and
stable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool's
base. This will help prevent tipping and possible per-
sonal injury.
FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool.

Switch action

► Fig.2: 1. Lock-off button 2. Switch trigger
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
For tool with lock-off button
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally
pulled, a lock-off button is provided.
To start the tool, depress the lock-off button and pull the
switch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.
Spark guard
► Fig.3: 1. Screw 2. Spark guard
The spark guard is factory-installed with its lower edge
contacting the base. Operating the tool in this position
will cause many sparks to fly around. Loosen the screw
and adjust the spark guard to a position at which mini-
mum sparks will fly around.
Interval between vise and guide
plate
► Fig.4: 1. Socket wrench 2. Guide plate 3. Move
4. Hex bolts
The original spacing or interval between the vise and
the guide plate is 0 - 170 mm. If your work requires
wider spacing or interval, proceed as follows to change
the spacing or interval.
Remove the two hex bolts which secure the guide plate.
Move the guide plate as shown in the figure and secure
it using the hex bolts. The following interval settings are
possible:
35 - 205 mm
70 - 240 mm
