CAUTION: Never use the saw over head. When using
water, limit cutting to the horizontal position to reduce
the risk of water entering the tool.
WARNING: Wet cut method is to be used only with a
diamond blade.
WARNING: The recommended flow rate should be at
least 20 fl. oz. (0.6 liters) per minute. Cutting at a flow
rate less than recommended or cutting for more than
two consecutive hours requires use of NIOSH/OSHA
approved respiratory protection for the operator and
any bystanders.
WARNING: Maximum supplied water pressure not to
exceed 60 PSI (4.1 bar).
WARNING: Makes sure that water does not flow onto
the abrasive wheel while the cut‑off machine is not
in use. The cutting wheel will absorb water which will
affect the balance.
NOTICE: Before using the wet cut method, make
sure water will not damage the material being cut or
surrounding property.
Attaching the Water supply
1. Attach the water supply to the quick water
connector

.
2. Attach the quick water connector to the water inlet
3. To regulate the water flow, slowly rotate the water
valve
16
towards to open position until desired flow is
reached as shown in Figure K. To stop the flow of water,
rotate the water valve to the closed postion.
4. Proceed to cut as described in Making a Cut below.
5. After finishing your cuts, run the machine for
3–5 seconds with the water valve closed to remove any
residual water from the cutting wheel.
Removing the Water supply
1. Turn off and depressurize water system.
2. Make sure the trigger switch
lock‑off button

is engaged.
3. Close the water valve
4. Disconnect the quick water connector

Making a Cut
WARNING: Always make sure the guard is in place and
set for the type of cut you are making.
WARNING: Always use your cut‑off machine so that
the operator and bystanders are not endangered by
potential airborne particles of material being cut,
sparks, or pieces of damaged cutting wheels.
DANGER: To reduce the risk of serious or fatal injury,
DO NOT change direction during the cut. A change
in direction may produce a high torsional load on the
cutting wheel and cause it to bind or break.
CAUTION: Wear gloves when cutting metal.
1. Mark a cutting line on the material to be cut.
2. Grasp rear handle

and front handle

firmly.
3. Line up wheel with cutting line. Be sure nothing is near
or in line with the wheel.
4. To turn the tool on, push the lock‑off lever
the back of the tool, then depress the trigger switch
Wait for the blade to reach full speed, then slowly feed
wheel into work with firm pressure, working along the
cutting line. Do not force the tool. Cut only as deep as
needed to reduce the amount of dust produced. For
maximum efficiency and wheel life, keep the wheel
speed high. To maintain control of the cut‑off machine,
release pressure as you near the end of your cut.
5. To stop tool, release trigger switch
6. Set the lock‑off button
make sure the cutting wheel has come to a complete
stop before setting the cut‑off machine down.
nOTE: Denser and thicker material should be cut in several
passes. The maximum depth of cut of each pass should not
exceed 1.0" (25.4 mm).
Cutting Slabs (Fig. L, M)
WARNING: Before making any cuts, make sure the slab
is properly secured on a non‑slip surface.
1. Cut a guiding groove along a marked cutting line.
2. Cut deeper into the slab, never exceeding the maximum
.
17
depth of cut of 3.25" (83 mm), and leaving a ridge of
uncut material
3. Cut through the slab at each end to ensure the slab does
not chip.
4. Break the slab.
nOTE: Curves must be made into the slab using several
straight cuts as shown in Fig. M, always making sure that the
cutting wheel does not become wedged.
Cutting Pipe (Fig. N, O)
WARNING: Before making any cuts, make sure the
pipe is properly secured on a non‑slip surface.
WARNING: Pipe may break at any time during the cut.
Take precautions to maintain control of the tool and
avoid falling debris.
if the outer diameter of the pipe is smaller than the
maximum cutting depth
•
Make one cut straight down, starting at the top of the
pipe through to the bottom of the pipe.
if the outer diameter of the pipe is larger than the
maximum cutting depth
Several cuts are needed on larger pipes and it is important to
make the cuts in the proper sequence.
if the pipe is in‑ground and can not be rolled, make
the following sequence of cuts
1. Cut a guiding groove along a marked cutting line making
sure to avoid any metal reinforcements if possible.
2. Start at the bottom of the pipe and use only the front
and upper part of the cutting wheel. This will reduce the
risk of kickback or pinching.
3. Using only the front and upper part of the cutting wheel,
make a cut on the oppsite lower side of the pipe.
4. Make a lateral cut on the top half of the pipe.
