WARNING:
Do not attempt to modify this tool or create acces-
sories not recommended for use with this tool. Any
such alteration or modification is misuse and could
result in a hazardous condition leading to possible
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not connect to power supply until assembly is

WARNING:
A 14 in. wheel is the maximum wheel capacity of the
cut-off machine. Never use a wheel that is too thick
to allow outer flange to engage with the flats on the
spindle. Larger wheels will come in contact with the
wheel guards, while thicker wheels will prevent the
bolt from securing the wheel on the spindle. Either
of these situations could result in a serious accident
and can cause serious personal injury.
MOUNT TO A WORK SURFACE
See Figure 4, page 19.
The saw should be mounted to a firm supporting surface
such as a workbench. Bolt holes have been provided in
the saw base for this purpose. Each of the mounting holes
should be bolted securely using machine bolts, lock wash-
ers, and hex nuts (not included). Bolts should be of sufficient
length to accommodate the saw base, lock washers, hex
nuts, and the thickness of the workbench. Tighten all bolts
securely.
Carefully check the workbench after mounting to make sure
that no movement can occur during use. If any tipping, slid-
ing, or walking is noted, secure the workbench to the floor
before operating.
