Securing workpiece

By turning the vise handle counterclockwise and then
flipping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released from
the shaft threads and can be moved rapidly in and out.
To grip workpieces, push the vise handle until the vise
plate contacts the workpiece. Flip the vise nut to the right
and then turn the vise handle clockwise to securely
retain the workpiece.
CAUTION:
Always set the vise nut to the right fully when
•
securing the workpiece. Failure to do so may result
in insufficient securing of the workpiece. This could
cause the workpiece to be ejected or cause a
dangerous breakage of the wheel.
When the cut-off wheel has worn down considerably,
use a spacer block of sturdy, non-flammable material
behind the workpiece as shown in the figure. You can
more efficiently utilize the worn wheel by using the mid
point on the periphery of the wheel to cut the workpiece.

When cutting workpieces over 65 mm wide at an angle,
attach a straight piece of wood (spacer) over 190 mm
long x 45 mm wide to the guide plate as shown in the
figure. Attach this spacer with screws through the holes
in the guide plate.

the workpiece as shown in the figure, you can also utilize
the wheel economically.

OPERATION

Hold the handle firmly. Switch on the tool and wait until
the wheel attains full speed before lowering gently into
the cut. When the wheel contacts the workpiece,
gradually bear down on the handle to perform the cut.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT
UNTIL THE WHEEL HAS COME TO A COMPLETE
STOP before returning the handle to the fully elevated
position.
