Do not operate the tool when
the material is not firmly secured with the vise
because of the cutting angle.
ASSEMBLY

Storing socket wrench
► Fig.10: 1. Socket wrench
The socket wrench can be conveniently stored in the
location as indicated.
Securing workpiece
► Fig.11: 1. Vise plate 2. Vise nut 3. Vise handle
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.
► Fig.12: 1. Spacer block 2. Handle
Long workpieces must be supported by blocks of
non-flammable material on either side so that it will be
level with the base top.
