The stopper plate prevents the cut-off wheel from
contacting the workbench or floor. When a new wheel is
installed, set the stopper plate to position (A). When the
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.
Interval between vise and guide plate

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
CAUTION:
Remember that narrow workpieces may not be
secured safely when using the two, wider interval
settings.

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 right 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.

To remove the wheel, raise the wheel guard. Press the
shaft lock so that the wheel cannot revolve and use the
socket wrench to loosen the hex bolt by turning it
counterclockwise. Then remove the hex bolt, outer
flange and wheel. (Note: Do not remove the inner flange,
ring and O-ring.)
To install the wheel, follow the removal procedures in
reverse.
