ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
Failure to unplug cut-off machine could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
■ Release tension on the vice clamp by rotating the vice
crank handle 1/2 to 1 turn counterclockwise.
■ Lift up the quick lock-release lever and pull back on vice
crank handle to slide open the vice.
To tighten:
Unplug your cut-off machine.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug cut-off machine could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
■ Push the vice crank handle forward to slide the vice clamp
against the workpiece.
■ Rotate the lock lever forward and push down to engage its
threads with the vice screw.
■ Rotate the vice crank handle clockwise to tighten the vice
clamp against the workpiece.
DEPTH STOP
The depth stop limits the wheel's downward travel. It allows
the wheel to go below the machine base in order to maintain
full cutting capacities.
The adjustable depth stop is a bolt threaded into the bracket
of the machine at the rear. To adjust the depth stop, use the
wrench to raise or lower the depth stop bolt.
The depth stop has been set already to provide the maximum
cutting capacity for the 355mm (14") abrasive wheel.
When the diameter of the wheel has been reduced due to
wear, it may be necessary to adjust the depth stop to provide
maximum cutting capacity. When a new abrasive wheel is
installed, it is necessary to check the clearance of the wheel
to the machine base support.
DEPTH STOP ADJUSTMENTS (Fig. 9)
■ Unplug your cut-off machine.
WARNING:
■ Failure to unplug cut-off machine could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
■ Loosen the lock nut of the depth stop bolt that is against the
machine bracket.
ENGLISH
■ The depth stop is lowered by turning the depth stop bolt
clockwise and raised by turning the bolt counterclockwise.
■ By pressing down on the machine arm, lower the wheel
and check clearance and maximum cutting distance
(distance from adjustable stationary vice where wheel
enters) to front of machine base slot.
■ Adjust if necessary. Re-tighten depth stop bolt lock nut
securely.
CAUTION:
Do not start your abrasive cut-off machine without checking
for interference between the wheel and the machine base
support. Damage may result to the wheel if it strikes the
machine base support during operation of the machine.
■ Tighten the depth stop bolt with the wrench provided.
WARNING:
Cutting steel will cause sparks.Tighten the depth stop bolt
with the hex key provided. Do not operate in the presence
of combustible or flammable materials. Failure to heed this
warning could result in a fire or serious personal injury.

OPERATION

APPLICATIONS
(Use only for the purposes listed below)
■ Cutting all types of ferrous metals such as 50.8mm (2") x
152.4mm (6") steel framing studs.
■ Cutting hard metal iron stock such as square bar stock and
angle iron.
■ Cutting metal tube and pipe stock.
POWER SUPPLY
Before operating your cut-off machine, check your power
supply and make sure it meets the requirements listed on
the tool's data plate. A substantial voltage drop will cause a
loss of power and machine overheating.
Common causes of power loss and machine overheating
are insufficient extension cord size and multiple tools
operating from the same power source.
SWITCH
To turn your cut-off machine ON, depress the switch trigger
located in the handle portion of the machine arm.
To turn it OFF, release the switch trigger.
