MAXIMUM CUTTING CAPACITY
NOTE: Capacity shown on chart assumes no wheel wear and optimum fence position.
Workpiece Shape:
A X B
90° Cutting Angle A = 4-7/8 in A = 4-1/2 in
(125mm)
45° Cutting Angle A = 4-1/2 in A = 3-13/16 in 4 1/2 in x 3 13/16 in
(115mm)
STANDARD EQUIPMENT
1 14 inch (355mm) Metal Cutting Abrasive Wheel
1 Wheel Wrench
1 Instruction manual
TO CARRY (FIG. 1a)
Fold down unit to position where you can carry the saw. Hook
lock chain (A) to chain hook (Q).
UNLOCKING (FIG. 1a)
To unlock tool and raise head, depress motor arm slightly and
unhook lock chain (A) from chain hook (Q). Motor arm will
then pivot upward.
SPARK DEFLECTOR ADJUSTMENT (FIG. 1)
To best deflect sparks away from surrounding persons and materials, loosen the screw (B),
adjust the spark deflector (C) and then retighten screw. Do not allow cordset to come into
contact with deflector or sparks as damage to cordset may occur.
DEPTH STOP (FIG. 1)
Depth stop is set at the factory for a new 14 inch (355mm) wheel to prevent wheel from
cutting into the supporting surface. To allow more depth of cut, use the flat wrench provided
(G) to loosen the depth stop bolt (M) and lower bolt to desired height and then turn jam nut
(M) clockwise until seated firmly on the casting. Securely tighten the depth stop bolt before use.
CAUTION:
When changing to a new wheel, readjust depth stop to original position to
prevent cutting into supporting surface.
TRIGGER SWITCH (FIG. 1)
To start the tool, depress the trigger switch (N). To turn the 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 (O) located in the trigger.

MATERIAL CLAMPING AND SUPPORTING (FIG. 2, 3)
• Angled material is best clamped and
cut with both legs resting against
base.
• A spacer block slightly narrower than
the workpiece can be used to
increase wheel utilization (Fig. 2).
• Long workpieces must be supported
by a block so it will be level with top
of base (Fig. 3). The cut off end
should be free to fall downward to
avoid wheel binding.
VISE OPERATION (FIG. 4)
The vise (F) has a quick-travel feature. To release the vise when it is clamped tightly, turn
the crank (H) counterclockwise one or two times to remove clamping pressure. Lift vise
lever (I) up. Pull crank assembly out as far as desired. Vise may be pushed forward into
work without cranking. Lower vise lever (I) then tighten vise (F) on work by using crank (H).
