CAUTION: When changing to a new wheel, readjust
depth stop to original position to prevent cutting into
supporting surface.
Trigger Switch (Fig. A)
To start the tool, depress the trigger switch
tool off, release the trigger switch. Keep hands and material
from wheel until it has coasted to a stop. To prevent
unauthorized use of tool, install a standard padlock (not
included) into the padlock hole
Material Clamping and Supporting (Fig. B)
• Angles are best clamped and cut with both legs resting
against base.
• A spacer block slightly narrower than the work piece
can be used to increase wheel utilization.
• Long workpieces must be supported by a block so it will
be level with top of base (Fig. B). The cut off end should
be free to fall downward to avoid wheel binding.
