GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATING
POWER TOOLS
WARNING
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation
and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of
personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked, or
ignored, personal injury to the operator, or damage to property may result.
1. KNOW YOUR MACHINE. Read the manual carefully. Learn the machines’
applications and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to it.
2. KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
3. EARTH ALL MACHINES. If the machine is equipped with three-pin plug, it should
be plugged into a three-pin electrical socket. Never remove earth pin.
4. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form a habit of checking to
ensure that keys, wrenches and tools are removed from the machine.
5. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
6. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use machinery in damp or
wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lit.
7. KEEP CHILDREN AND VISITORS AWAY. All children and visitors should be kept a
safe distance from work area.
8. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF - with padlocks, master switches or by
removing starter keys.
9. DON’T FORCE THE MACHINE. It will do the job better and safer, at the rate for
which it was designed.
10. USE THE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force a tool or attachment to do a job for which
it was not designed.
11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or
other jewellery may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip footwear is
recommended. Long hair should be contained.
12. USE SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses,
they are NOT safety glasses.
13. USE EAR DEFENDERS.
14. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
15. MAINTAIN TOOLS IN TOP CONDITION. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and
safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
16. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE MACHINE before servicing or changing
accessories.
17. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Ensure the machine is switched OFF before
plugging in.
18. CHECK FOR DAMAGE. If part of the machine (eg. A cover or guard), is
damaged, it should be carefully inspected to ensure that it can perform its’
3

intended function correctly. If in doubt, the part should be renewed. Damage to
moving parts or major components should be Inspected by a qualified technician
before operating the machine. Contact your local dealer for advice.
19. DO NOT STAND ON THE MACHINE. Serious injury could occur if the machine is
tipped over. Do not store materials above or near the machine such that it is
necessary to stand on the machine to get to them.
20. NEVER operate a machine when under the influence of alcohol, drugs or
medication.
21. ALWAYS ENSURE THAT ADEQUATE LIGHTING is available. A minimum intensity
of 300 lux should be provided. Ensure that lighting is placed so that you will not
be working in your own shadow.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR METAL CUT-OFF SAWS
WARNING!
THIS MACHINE MUST NOT BE MODIFIED, OR USED FOR ANY PURPOSE
OTHER THAN THAT FOR WHICH IT IS DESIGNED.
1. IMPORTANT: You should not operate this machine unless you are thoroughly
familiar with metal cutting saws. If there is any doubt whatsoever, you should
consult a qualified person.
2. Do not operate the machine until it is completely assembled, and this entire
manual, has been read and understood.
3. Ensure the proper electrical regulations are followed.
4. Ensure the abrasive disk is securely mounted in accordance with these
instructions, before connecting to a power supply.
5. DO NOT over tighten the abrasive disk. This can cause stress, and could lead
to the wheel shattering when under load.
6. Always check the abrasive disk for cracks before use.
7. Before switching the machine on, ALWAYS ensure the work is properly
secured, ALWAYS use the vice, NEVER hand hold a workpiece.
8. Make all adjustments with the power OFF.
9. When starting a cut, always ease the tool into the work. A harsh or sudden
impact could shatter the abrasive disk.
10. Ensure the Abrasive Disk reaches maximum speed before beginning a cut.
11. Never use the machine with the guards removed.
12. Ensure you use the correct type of Abrasive Disk for the type of material
being cut. Metal cutting & masonry Abrasive Disks are available from your

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply through an
approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE IS DOUBLE INSULATED
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
As the colours of the flexible lead of this appliance may not correspond with the
coloured markings identifying terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
• Connect BROWN cord to plug terminal marked with letter “L” or coloured RED.
• Connect BLUE cord to plug terminal marked with a letter “N” or coloured
BLACK.
If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded onto the electric cable (i.e.
non-rewirable) please note:
1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the electric cable. There is a
danger of electric shock if it is subsequently inserted into a socket outlet.
2. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
3. Should you wish to replace a detachable fuse carrier, ensure that the correct
replacement is used (as indicated by marking or colour code).
4. Replacement fuse covers can be obtained from your local dealer or most
electrical stockists.
5. The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating (13 amps)
and this replacement must be ASTA approved to BS1362.

FEATURES
Adjusting The Vice
Fig.5
1. A stop is provided to restrict the height to
which the arm may be lowered. The stop is
in the form of a bolt, arrowed in fig. 3 which
should not require adjusting.
2. The vice is provided with a quick adjust
device (shown at A, fig.4). The block,
through which the screw passes, pivots,
and may be lifted off the screw thread.
This releases the screw, and hence the
vice jaw which may then be quickly
moved into contact with the work. The
block is then flipped back into position,
and the work clamped in the normal way
by using the handle.
3. A latch, to prevent the head from being lowered, is provided. Turn the plastic
handle at the rear of the unit, indicated in fig.3, to engage the latch
Before carrying out any adjustments or maintenance, ensure the saw is
disconnected from the power supply.
a. Bevel Cutting
The vice may be moved up to 45° for
bevel cutting.
To set the required angle, slacken off the
two bolts securing the fixed vice jaw
(Shown at B), and swivel the jaw to the
appropriate angle according to the
scale provided. Use a set square or
angle gauge set against the Abrasive
Disk, if absolute accuracy is required.
Tighten the two securing bolts when
satisfied.
b. Positioning the Fixed Vice Jaw
The fixed jaw may be fixed in one of three
positions to accommodate larger
workpieces.
Undo and remove the two screws
securing the jaw, and reposition as
desired, using the bolt holes arrowed in
Fig.5 to secure the jaw.

OPERATION (Ref. Fig. 1)
Ensuring the workpiece is properly clamped, and observing all precautions
previously mentioned, switch ON by pressing the safety lock button before pulling
the ON/OFF trigger switch upwards. Allow the wheel to reach full speed then
gently lower it on to the work. DO NOT try to cut too harshly.
The switch is a ‘dead man’ type and the motor will stop therefore, when it is
released.
NOTE:
Take great care when cutting with a new wheel. DO NOT press too heavily
particularly at the end of a cut.
MAINTENANCE
Before use, always check the condition of the Abrasive Disk to ensure there are no
cracks or badly pitted edges. If in doubt, you must renew the wheel.
Always keep the machine clean and dry. Brush away dust and metal chippings.
Changing the Abrasive Disk
Having disconnected the power supply,
Raise the Upper Blade Guard, by hand, as
high as possible, then slide the bar, arrowed
in fig.6, across, so that it retains the Blade
Guard in place, as shown.
Slacken off the two screws which secure
the Abrasive Disk Centre Bolt access plate,
shown in fig 6, and remove the plate.
Fig.7
Fig.6
Using the 8mm Hex. wrench, undo and remove the
Abrasive Disk Centre Bolt, then remove the washer,
and flange. Finally, carefully remove the Abrasive
Disk.
Reassemble in reverse order, ensuring the Disk, and
flange are correctly mounted on the flats on the
shaft with the flange and washer oriented as shown
in fig.7, Take great care not to over tighten the
centre bolt.

IMPORTANT!
Ensure the replacement disk is rated above
the rated speed of ther machine.

The Motor
Maintenance to the Motor is limited to changing the
carbon brushes.
These will naturally wear with use and require replacing.
They should be checked periodically as follows:
1. Unscrew and remove the plastic covers on the end
of the motor with a screwdriver
2. Pull out the brushes complete with springs and
retainers.
3. Check the brush length, if the ‘wear line’ cannot
be seen (‘A’ fig.8), the pair must be renewed.
4. Replace the brushes, taking care to ensure that the tabs, on the end of the
spring retainer (‘B’ fig.8), correctly enter the elongated chamber as you push
it in and screw on the cap.
