ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING THE ABRASIVE CUTTING WHEEL (See Fig.5)
1. Place the screw, washer, outer flange and arbor adapter (if used) through the hole
in the new abrasive wheel.
2. Place the inner flange onto the screw protruding to the back side of the new
abrasive wheel.
3. Holding the new abrasive wheel in one hand, align the screw into the threaded
hole in the arbor.
4. Push in the arbor shaft lock lever and turn the new abrasive wheel until the shaft
locks.
5. Hold the arbor shaft lock in place and use a wrench, turn the screw clockwise to
tighten.
6. Tighten the screw securely into the motor arbor.
7. Replace the movable blade guard exposing the covering screw for the abrasive
wheel.
WARNING! Do not over-tighten the screw. Over tightening the screw can cause the
abrasive wheel to crack resulting in premature failure. This could cause the abrasive
wheel to break and fly off the arbor shaft when the trigger is engaged. Failure to
adhere to this Warning could cause damage to the cut-off saw and severe injury or
even death to the operator.
Use only a 14" diameter abrasive cut-off wheel rated to a minimum 4000 RPM.
Cut-off wheels that do not match the mounting hardware, exceed a maximum 4400
RPM or fall below the minimum 4000 RPM may sustain premature wear or breakage
and fly off the cut-off saw or run eccentrically resulting in a loss of control. Failure to
adhere to this Warning could cause damage to the cut-off saw and severe injury or
even death to the operator.
ADJUSTING THE WORK VISE (See Fig.6)
The work vise is located on the base of the cut-off saw. The vise is made up of two
parts: (1) a stationary fence which can be loosened and rotated from 0° to 45°
degrees and (2) a movable clamp with an adjustable screw handle and a quick
release lock.
The work vise will also move toward the rear of the base to allow larger workpieces to
be cut. To set up and adjust the work vise, follow the directions below. See Figure 6.
1. Using a wrench, turn the two blots counterclockwise to loosen.
2. Rotate the work vise fence to the desired the angle by aligning the gauge on the
vise base with the indicator groove in the Cut-off saw base.
3. Using a wrench, turn the two bolts clockwise to securely tighten.
4. Using a wrench, turn the two bolts counterclockwise and remove them.
5. Slide the stationary portion of the work vise over the last threaded hole in the
Cut-off saw base.
6. Install one of the bolts into the hole to set vise in place.
DO NOT TIGHTEN AT THIS TIME. (See Fig.7)
7. Align the second hole of the work vise base with another threaded hole in the
Cut-off base.
8. Install the second hex sockethead screw into the hole.
9. Using a wrench, turn the two hex socket-head cap screws clockwise to loosen.
CAUTION! The angled cut settings on the fence base are only approximate settings.
Always check the accuracy of angled cut settings using a protractor or bevel gauge.
