1. Disconnect power supply. Disconnect from power supply when not in use, before cleaning, servicing or
changing any parts or accessories.
2. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Prevent body
contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking stoves and refrigerators. There is an
increased chance of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
3. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other),
this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for a three wire grounded power cord and
grounded power supply system.
4. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet
is properly grounded. If the tool should electronically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a
low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
5. Do not expose to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
6. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed or
damaged. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. Do
not modify the plug in any way.
7. when operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked "w-a" or "w". These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
8. avoid using an unnecessarily long extension cord. Choose a cord that is appropriate for the situation,
as a cord that is too long and running across the floor can be more dangerous than helpful.

3. Do not leave tool unattended until it comes to a complete stop.
4. The temperature of the machine will increase during the operation. Keep the working area well
aerated to decrease the temperature.
5. use only abrasive wheels that are in good condition. Wheels that are visibly damaged in any way
and/or make abnormal noises should not be used.
6. use only abrasive wheels recommended by the manufacturer which have marked speed equal
or greater to that marked on the machine.
7. use only flanges furnished with the Cut-off saw. The use of unauthorized parts or accessories could
be dangerous because they may not be rated according to this tool's specifications.
8. Do not overtighten the wheel nut, you could cause it to break.
9. Frequently clean dust from beneath wheel with pressurized air.

OPERATION

1. make sure that the voltage achieves the rating value on the name plate.
2. The specs of the abrasive wheel should meet the demands listed below:
Type Outer diameter Inner diameter
J1C-355C 14"
3. The Cut-off saw is equipped with a 3-digit decode lock in order to lock the motor-control
in the off position and to avoid mis-operation. The initial number of the key to lock can be found
