14 in. ABRASIVE WHEEL
A 14 in. abrasive wheel is included with your cut-off machine.
It will cut materials up to 5 in. thick or 8 in. wide, depending
upon the thickness or width of the material and the setting
at which the cut is being made.
ADJUSTABLE FENCE
The fence on your cut-off machine has been provided to
support the material and provide clamping support to the
vise for holding your material securely when making all cuts.
It is an adjustable fence that has been provided to make
your cut-off machine more versatile. It adjusts from 0° to 45°
to the right or left for making angled cuts. The hole pattern
allows it to be moved forward when making cuts in tall or
thick stock, such as square stock or tube stock. The hole
pattern allows it to be moved back when making cuts in
stock that is thin or wide, such as angle stock.
ADJUSTABLE STOP
In the down (full cut) position, the pivot arm hits an adjust-
able stop on the support bracket.
ARBOR WRENCH
The arbor wrench is found on the side of the base. Use
wrench when replacing cut-off wheel or when making fence
angular adjustments.
CARRyING HANDLE
This handle is built into the unit to move it from one
location to another. Before attempting to pick up the unit by
the carrying handle always lock the power head in the down
position using the transport chain.
"D" HANDLE
The handle contains the trigger switch with a padlock locking
hole to prevent unauthorized use. The wheel is lowered into
the material by pushing down on the handle. The wheel will
return to its upright position when the handle is released.
 Fence Angle ..................................... right (45°), left (45°)
 Maximum Cutting Capacities:
Round Pipe ............................... 5 in. outside diameter

LOWER WHEEL GUARD
The lower wheel guard provides protection from each side
of the wheel. Contact with the material causes the lower
guard to raise over the upper wheel guard as the wheel is
lowered into the material.
MITER LOCK HANDLE
Allows the adjustable fence to be pivoted at a given angle
then locked in place.
MOTOR
This machine has a strong motor with sufficient power to
handle tough cutting jobs. It also has externally accessible
brushes for ease of servicing.

A spindle lock has been provided for locking the spindle
which keeps the wheel in your machine from rotating.
Depress and hold the spindle lock while installing, changing,
or removing wheel only.

for compact storage. The chain is only used during carrying
and storage operations.
UPPER WHEEL GUARD

of wheel.
VISE CLAMP
A vise clamp has been provided with your cut-off machine.
It is located on the end of the vise screw and provides
greater control by clamping the material to the fence. It also
prevents the material from creeping toward the wheel during
a cutting operation.
