4. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
5. DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS EVNIRONMENT. Don’t use power
tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain Keep work area
well lighted. Don’t use tool in presence of ammable liquids or gases.
6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance
from work area.vg
7. MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or
by removing starter keys.
8. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it was designed.
9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for
which it was not designed.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves,
neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in
moving parts. Nonslip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask
if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact
resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical.
It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for
best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing; when changing accessories
such as blades, bits, cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure
switch is in off position before plugging in.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner’s manual
for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may
cause risk of injury to persons.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is
tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard
or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended function – check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
mounting, and any other conditions that may affect its operation. a guard
or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the
direction of rotation of the blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER
OFF. Don’t leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
22. REPLACMENT PARTS. When servicing use only identical
replacement parts.
23. PLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact
a qualied electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.

USER MANUAL 5
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source
(receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same
as that specied on the nameplate of the tool. a power source with
voltage greater than that specied for the tool can result in SERIOUS
INJURY to the user – as well as damage to the tool. if in doubt, DO
NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is
in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one
heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and over-
heating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage.
The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product (gained from repeated
use) replace strict adherence to portable cut-off safety rules. It you this
tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.
2. Use only wheels having a maximum operating speed at least as
high as “No Load RPM” marked on the tool’s nameplate. Use only
berglass-reinforced cut-off wheels.
3. Check the wheel carefully for cracks or damage before operation.
replace cracked or damaged wheel immediately. Run the tool (with
guard) at no load for about a minute, keeping tool away from others.
If wheel is awed, it will likely separate during this test.
4. Secure the wheel carefully.
5. Use only anges specied for this tool.
6. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the ange (especially the installing
surface) or the bolt. Damage to these parts could result in wheel breakage.
7. Do not operate the tool without guards in place. Check wheel guard

for proper closing before each use. Do not operate the tool if wheel
guard does not move freely and close instantly. Never clamp or tie the
wheel guard into the open position.
8. Hold the handle rmly.
9. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
10. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the workpiece before the
switch is turned on.
11. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while.
Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a
poorly balanced wheel.
12. Watch out for ying sparks when operating. They can cause injury or
ignite combustible materials.
13. Remove material debris from the area that might be ignited by
sparks. Be sure that others are not in the path of the sparks. Keep a
proper, charged extinguisher closely available.
14. Use the cutting edge of the wheel only. Never use side surface.
15. Do not attempt to keep the triggerin the ON position.
16. If the wheel stops during operation, makes an odd noise or begins to
vibrate, switch off the tool immediately.
17. Turn off the tool and wait for the wheel to stop before moving
workpiece or changing settings.
18. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after operation; it is
extremely hot and could burn your skin.

.STOPPER PLATE
The stopper plate prevents the cut-off wheel from contacting the
workbench or oor. When a new wheel is installed, set the stopper
plate to position (A). When the wheel wears down to the extent that
the lower portion of the workpiece is left uncut, set the stopper plate
to position (B) to allow increased cutting capacity with a worn down
wheel.
INTERVAL BETWEEN VISE AND GUIDE PLATE
The original spacing or interval between the vise and the guide plate is
0-170mm (0-6-11/16”). If your work requires wider spacing or interval,
proceed as follows to change the spacing or interval.
Remove the two hex bolts which secure the guide plate. Move the guide
plate as shown in the gure and secure it using the hex bolts. The
following interval setting are possible:
0-205 mm (0” – 8-1/16”)
18-220mm(11/16”-8-2/3”)

SECURING WORKPIECE
By turning the vise handle counterclockwise and then ipping the vise
nut to the left, the vise is released from the shaft threads and can be
moved rapidly in and out. To grip workpieces, push the vise handle until
the vise plate contacts the workpiece. Flip the vise nut to the right and
then turn the vise handle clockwise to securely retain the workpiece.
CAUTION!
Always set the vise nut to the right fully when securing the workpiece.
Failure to do so may result in insufcient securing of the workpiece.
This could cause the workpiece to be ejected or or cause a dangerous
breakage of the wheel.
Spacer block
When the cut-off wheel has worn down considerably, use a spacer block
of sturdy, non-ammable material behind the workpiece as shown in the
gure. You can more efciently utilize the worn wheel by using the mid
point on the periphery of the wheel to cut the workpiece.

OPERATION
Hold the handle firmly. Switch on the tool and wait until the wheel attains
full speed before lowering gently into the cut when the wheel contacts
the workpiece, gradually bear down on the handle to perform the cut.
When the cut is completed, switch off the tool and WAIT UNTIL THE
WHEEL HAS COME TO A COMPLETE STOP before returning the
handle to the fully elevated position.
CAUTION!
Proper handle pressure during cutting and maximum cutting efficiency
can be determined by the amount of sparks that is produced while
cutting. Your pressure on the handle should be adjusted to produce the
maximum amount of sparks. Do not force the cut by applying excessive
pressure on the handle. Reduced cutting efficiency, premature wheel
wear, as well as, possible damage to the tool, cut-off wheel or workpiece
may result.
