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 disconnect
the tool from the mains supply (use non metallic
objects) and avoid damaging internal parts.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTALLATION
Securing cut-off (Fig. 1)
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 personal
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)
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 button
To start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Release
the switch trigger to stop.
For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then
push in the lock button.
To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch
trigger fully, then release it.
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.
Stopper plate (except for European
countries) (Fig. 3)
The stopper plate prevents the cut-off wheel from
contacting the workbench or floor. When a new wheel is
installed, set the stopper plate to position (A). When the
wheel wears down to the extent that the lower portion of
6
the workpiece is left uncut, set the stopper plate to
position (B) to allow increased cutting capacity with a
worn down wheel.
Interval between vise and guide plate
(Fig. 4 & 5)
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
CAUTION:
• Remember that narrow workpieces may not be
secured safely when using the two, wider interval
settings.
Setting for desired cutting angle (Fig. 6)
To change the cutting angle, follow the procedure below:
1. Loosen the two hex bolts.
2. Set the guide plate to the desired angle (0° - 45°).
3. For more accurate angle, use a protractor or triangle
ruler. Keep the handle down so that the cut-off wheel
extends into the base. At the same time, adjust the
angle between the guide plate and the cut-off wheel
with a protractor or triangle ruler.
4. Tighten the hex bolts securely. At this time, make sure
that the guide rule does not move.
5. Check the angle again.
CAUTION:
• Never perform right miter cuts when the guide plate is
set at the 35 - 205 mm or 70 - 240 mm position.
CAUTION:
• Do not operate the tool when the material is not firmly
secured with the vise because of the cutting angle.
NOTE:
• The scale on the guide plate is only a rough indication.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.
Removing or installing cut-off wheel
(Accessory) (Fig. 7)
To remove the wheel, raise the wheel guard. Press the
shaft lock so that the wheel cannot revolve and use the
socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt by turning it
counterclockwise. Then remove the hex bolt, outer flange
and wheel. (Note: Do not remove the inner flange, ring
and O-ring.)
To install the wheel, follow the removal procedures in
reverse. (Fig. 8)
CAUTION:
• Be sure to tighten the hex bolt securely. Insufficient
tightening of the hex bolt may result in severe injury.
