7INSTALLATIONSecuring cut-off (Fig. 1)This tool should be bolted with two bolts to a level andstable surface using the bolt holes provided in the tool’sbase. This will help prevent tipping and possible personalinjury.FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONCAUTION:• Always be sure that the tool is switched off andunplugged before adjusting or checking function on thetool.Switch action (Fig. 2)CAUTION:• Before plugging in the tool, always check to see thatthe switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the“OFF” position when released.For tool with lock buttonTo start the tool, simply pull the switch trigger. Releasethe switch trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pullthe switch trigger and then push in the lock button. Tostop the tool from the locked position, pull the switchtrigger fully, then release it.For tool with lock-off buttonTo prevent the switch trigger from being accidentallypulled, a lock-off button is provided.To start the tool, depress the lock-off button and pull theswitch trigger. Release the switch trigger to stop.Spark guard (Fig. 3)The spark guard is factory-installed with its lower edgecontacting the base. Operating the tool in this position willcause many sparks to fly around. Loosen the screw andadjust the spark guard to a position at which minimumsparks will fly around.Interval between vise and guide plate(Fig. 4)The original spacing or interval between the vise and theguide plate is 0 - 170 mm. If your work requires widerspacing or interval, proceed as follows to change thespacing or interval.Remove the two hex bolts which secure the guide plate.Move the guide plate as shown in the figure and secure itusing the hex bolts. The following interval settings arepossible:35 - 205 mm70 - 240 mm (Fig. 5)CAUTION:• Remember that narrow workpieces may not besecured safely when using the two, wider intervalsettings.Setting for desired cutting angle (Fig. 6)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 triangleruler. Keep the handle down so that the cut-off wheelextends into the base. At the same time, adjust theangle between the guide plate and the cut-off wheelwith a protractor or triangle ruler.4. Tighten the hex bolts securely. At this time, make surethat the guide rule does not move.5. Check the angle again.CAUTION:• Never perform miter cuts when the guide plate is set atthe 35 - 205 mm or 70 - 240 mm position.NOTE:• The scale on the guide plate is only a rough indication.ASSEMBLYCAUTION:• Always be sure that the tool is switched off andunplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.Removing or installing cut-off wheel(Fig. 7)To remove the wheel, raise the safety guard. Press theshaft lock so that the wheel cannot revolve and use thesocket wrench to loosen the hex bolt by turning itcounterclockwise. Then remove the hex bolt, outer flangeand wheel. (Note: Do not remove the inner flange, ringand O-ring.)To install the wheel, follow the removal procedures inreverse. (Fig. 8)CAUTION:• Be sure to tighten the hex bolt securely. Insufficienttightening of the hex bolt may result in severe injury.Use the socket wrench provided to help assure propertightening.• Always use only the proper inner and outer flangeswhich are provided with this tool.• Always lower the safety guard after replacing thewheel.Securing workpiece (Fig. 9)By turning the vise handle counterclockwise and thenflipping the vise nut to the left, the vise is released fromthe shaft threads and can be moved rapidly in and out. Togrip workpieces, push the vise handle until the vise platecontacts the workpiece. Flip the vise nut to the right andthen turn the vise handle clockwise to securely retain theworkpiece.CAUTION:• Always set the vise nut to the right fully when securingthe workpiece. Failure to do so may result in insufficientsecuring of the workpiece. This could cause theworkpiece to be ejected or cause a dangerousbreakage of the wheel.When the cut-off wheel has worn down considerably, usea spacer block of sturdy, non-flammable material behindthe workpiece as shown in the figure. You can moreefficiently utilize the worn wheel by using the mid point onthe periphery of the wheel to cut the workpiece. (Fig. 10)When cutting workpieces over 65 mm wide at an angle,attach a straight piece of wood (spacer) over 190 mm longx 45 mm wide to the guide plate as shown in the figure.Attach this spacer with screws through the holes in theguide plate.
