install the wheel.
Storing socket wrench

► 1. Socket wrench
The socket wrench can be conveniently stored in the
location as indicated.
Securing workpiece
1
► 1. Vise plate 2. Vise nut 3. Vise handle
By turning the vise handle counterclockwise and then flip-
ping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released from the
shaft threads and can be moved rapidly in and out. To grip
workpieces, push the vise handle until the vise plate contacts
the workpiece. Flip the vise nut to the right and then turn the
vise handle clockwise to securely retain the workpiece.
CAUTION:
• Always set the vise nut to the right fully when
securing the workpiece. Failure to do so may
result in insufficient securing of the workpiece.
This could cause the workpiece to be ejected or
cause a dangerous breakage of the wheel.
When the cut-off wheel has worn down considerably,
use a spacer block of sturdy, non-flammable material
behind the workpiece as shown in the figure. You can
more efficiently utilize the worn wheel by using the mid
point on the periphery of the wheel to cut the workpiece.
► 1. Spacer block 2. Handle
Long workpieces must be supported by blocks of
non-flammable material on either side so that it will be
level with the base top.
► 1. Blocks

OPERATION

Hold the handle firmly. Switch on the tool and wait until
the wheel attains full speed before lowering gently
into the cut. When the wheel contacts the workpiece,
gradually bear down on the handle to perform the cut.

When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT
UNTIL THE WHEEL HAS COME TO A COMPLETE
STOP before returning the handle to the fully elevated
position.

CAUTION:
Proper handle pressure during cutting and maxi-
mum cutting efficiency can be determined by the
amount of sparks that is produced while cutting.
Your pressure on the handle should be adjusted
to produce the maximum amount of sparks. Do
not force the cut by applying excessive pressure
on the handle. Reduced cutting efficiency, pre-
mature wheel wear, as well as, possible damage
to the tool, cut-off wheel or workpiece may
result.
