Always use only the proper inner and outer
•
flanges which are provided with this tool.
Always lower the safety guard after replacing the

wheel.
Securing workpiece

By turning the vise handle counterclockwise and then
flipping the vise nut to the back, 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 front and then turn the vise handle clockwise to
securely retain the workpiece.
CAUTION:
Always set the vise nut to the front 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.

If you use a spacer block which is slightly narrower than
the workpiece as shown in the figure, you can also
utilize the wheel economically.

Long workpieces must be supported by blocks of non-
flammable material on either side so that it will be level
with the base top.

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.
CAUTION:
Proper handle pressure during cutting and
•
maximum cutting efficiency can be determined by
the amount of sparks that is produced while
cutting. Your pressure on the handle should be
adjusted to produce the maximum amount of
sparks. Do not force the cut by applying excessive
pressure on the handle. Reduced cutting efficiency,
premature wheel wear, as well as, possible
