INSTALLATION

Securing cut-off saw
The cut-off saw may be bolted (2 bolts) down to a bench
or floor using the bolt holes in the base. Do not secure
the bolts too tightly.
FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before adjusting or checking function
on the tool.
Switch action
CAUTION:
• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see
that the switch trigger actuates properly and
returns to the "OFF" position when released.
► Fig.1: 1. Switch trigger 2. Lock-off button
The lock-off button and the trigger in the handle must
be pressed for the tool to be activated. You can stop the
motor by releasing the trigger.
CAUTION:
• Be sure the switch operates properly. It should
turn the tool on and return to the "off" position
after being released.
• When not using the tool, remove the lock-off
button. This prevents unauthorized operation.
Positioning the spark chute
► Fig.2: 1. Spark chute 2. Base top 3. Point A
To prevent sparks from flying around, raise the spark
chute slightly so that point A will be below the base top
indicated.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to adjust the spark chute as mentioned
above before operation. Failure to do so will
cause more sparks to fly around causing greater
potential for injury or ignition of any combustible
materials nearby.
Adjusting stopper plate

the surface of the bench floor.
