HANDLE
■ Once it reaches full speed slowly lower the handle of the
machine arm until the cut-off wheel comes in contact with
the material being cut. Continue to use steady and even
pressure to obtain a uniform cut through the workpiece.
Never force the wheel into the material being cut.
■ When the cut is complete, release the switch trigger and
allow the wheel to stop rotating before raising the wheel
out of workpiece.
WARNING:
Do not touch the cut material until it cools or you can be
burned. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious
personal injury.
CUT-OFF
See Figures 14 and 15.
A cut-off is made by cutting across the width of the
workpiece. A straight crosscut is made with the adjustable
fence set at the zero degree position. Angled cut-offs are
made with the adjustable fence set at some angle other
than zero.
To cut with your cut-off machine:
■ Firmly secure the material to be cut using the machine’s
vise (adjustable fence and vise clamp).
■ Using the 8 mm hex key supplied, loosen the socket head
bolts securing the fence.
See Figures 14 and 15.
■ Rotate the adjustable fence to the angle needed.
■ Retighten socket head bolts securing fence.
■ Return hex key to its storage area in base.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always tighten socket
head bolts securely before making a cut. Failure to do so
could result in movement of the workpiece while making
a cut.
■ Place the workpiece flat on the machine base with one
surface securely against the adjustable fence.
■ Align cutting line on the workpiece with the edge of the
abrasive wheel.
■ Push in the vise crank handle to set the vise clamp against
the workpiece. Turn the vise crank handle 1/2 to 1 turn
clockwise to securely clamp the workpiece to the fence.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, keep your hands at least
3 in. (76.2 mm) from wheel.
■ When cutting long pieces, support the opposite end of
the material with a roller stand or with a work surface
level with the machine base.
WARNING:
Never perform any cutting operation freehand (without
placing workpiece in the vise). Material will get hot during
cutting operation. Keep hands off of metal being cut to
avoid serious personal injury.
■ Before turning on machine, perform a dry run of the cutting
operation just to make sure that no problems will occur
when the cut is made.
■ Start the machine by grasping the handle and fully
squeezing the switch trigger. Allow several seconds for
the wheel to build up to full speed before letting it come
into contact with the material to be cut.
