► 1 . Guide plate 2. Lever
For LW1401
NOTICE:
When performing right miter cut,
always set the guide plate at 0 - 170 mm position.
Setting at the 35 - 205 mm or 70 - 240 mm position
hinders the movement of stopper plate, which
results in a failure cut.
Loosen the two hex bolts using a socket wrench. Turn
the guide plate to the desired angle and secure it with
the hex bolts. Be careful not to move the set angle while
securing the hex bolts.
► 1 . Guide plate 2. Hex bolts
NOTE: The scale on the guide plate is only a rough
indication. 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.

► 1 . Screw 2. Spark guard
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 mini-
mum sparks will fly around.

► 1 . Stopper plate
The stopper plate prevents the cut-off wheel from
contacting the workbench or floor. When a new cut-off
wheel is installed, set the stopper plate to position (A).
When the cut-off wheel wears down to the extent that
the lower portion of the workpiece is left uncut, set the
stopper plate to position (B) to allow increased cutting
capacity with a worn down wheel.
