Spark guard
003756
The spark guard is factory-installed with its lower edge
contacting the base. Operating the tool in this position
will cause many sparks to fly around. Loosen the screw
and adjust the spark guard to a position at which
minimum sparks will fly around.
Interval between vise and guide plate
4
003758
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

Setting for desired cutting angle
3
003760
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 miter cuts when the guide plate is
•
set at the 35 - 205 mm or 70 - 240 mm position.
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.
